Another failed experiment. Met this guy, Ken, through one of my "experimental musician seeks experimental situation" ads. Of course he was a wildly-talented performer-musician w/ extensive large-market experience but at the time he was looking for a live-sequencing situation. Of course as he found his musicians they were all uniformly hostile to anything that smelt of sequencing and ultimately, to even severe (albeit controlled) fx in some of the vocals (let alone click tracks) leaving me after six months of rehearsals hauling around one hundred lbs of gear in order to 'play the triangle' at a few opportune moments. So I quit. And his was my last band.
Early on however, I wrote this sequence in my Nord micromodular and let Ken suggest the chord changes within. I guess he liked them as this was a spontaneous jam against them. It was never intended for release and his words seem to be a precursor to some of his (presumably copyrighted) songs but again, I know he never released anything like this. The digital tracks are dated 1/2004 but I have no idea if this was analog or digitally mastered originally.

Great energy in the music. My first thought is it feels like traveling -- like moving from one place to another. However, I was unable to follow the lyrics.
