about

This is the first of a pair of instrumental tracks to set the scene of the album, and is the more optimistic-sounding of the two. The musical material was created by plugging in the abbreviations of the states we went through (e.g. NY, AZ) into a cypher that attaches a letter of the alphabet to a note of the chromatic scale. A close friend and respected musician and writer suggests that these 2 tracks represent the travel. I like to think they have a clinical but weary feel that I do associate with airports… The states in here are: NY, NJ, PN, MY, WV, VA and TN… not that you’ll hear it I don’t think!

“So, what do I hope to get out of the trip? Honestly nothing: really if I wanted to advance myself then I ought really to be staying indoors at my desk. Inspiration has never been a problem – and that would surely be what road trips are supposed to provide. It’s the discipline and tenacity that are hard, and swanning about doing cool stuff doesn’t give rise to these.”
