This piece of music has traveled a long road. It was first written as percussion composition sometime in 2010. In 2011 I was asked to join a prog-rock instrumental band called North Trail Rhythm Project. I introduced the tune to the guitarist who composed parts for it. Later, the band evolved to include a vocalist and lyricist, thus the tune got lyrics. After that band disolved, I took that latest incarnation and adapted it back to this percussion-only piece. Very different from the beginning.

The piece has a canvas of 3/8 that is consistent throught. It creates an easy rolling vibe. But in the first movement, I layer an 11/8 over top. This creates a very large structure as every 11 beats the underlying 3/8 gets re-contextualized by the 11.

Please note: I am not a videographer. But, I had fun using video to tell the story of a tortured soul battling inner deamons.
