about

At a time of a little too much death in my life, I was listening to the Disintegration Loops by ambient/loop composer William Basinski a lot.

The story behind them really intrigued me. Basically, they’re short loops that keep looping until they’re completely destroyed/disintegrated/dead.
So one evening in December 2015 I was riding my bike during a heavy snowfall and I was listening to Disintegration Loops 1.1 (the one I linked above). After a while, I started to sing some words on a melody that came to me while listening to the loop. I came up with most of the lyrics on my bike and then went inside and recorded my song on top of the Disintegration Loop. I kept adding things and after a while, it became my own song with the Disintegration Loops 1.1 still audible in some parts (which were later removed).

lyrics

lyrics:

For a year now, hand from the ground.
Like a bear trap, I haven’t found out how to walk back to town.

Sing it to me, hand from the grave.
One more time then, I’d better leave, I’ve got a life to attend.

Hurry up now, hand from below.
These are my days but I still don’t know how to keep the dead in the ground.

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker

This album comes in through your ears (like most music albums) but takes another route than most music. It avoids certain brain cells and somehow reaches a special place somewhere deep inside. Moon Moon Moon
