about

Lying Back Looking Up is a set of tracks based around the idea of lying on the ground and looking upwards at the world around. Much as in the same way Vah Gogh and many other Impressionist painters had of seeing the world in a dreamlike state. The pieces are daydreams.

If you enjoy this work, please purchase it from $5 to return the value and support the making of more music

The pieces were composed in "interesting times" for me. Pandemic kinda over (although we had another lockdown and mask-wearing week or two) we are back trying to recreate lives where we do the things we are good at, only to find this seeming denial of value for quality in favor of a kind of slavery to the worst of people for the worst of reasons. Who wouldn't want to escape that?

Technically all very simple. Complex times call for simplicity and a form that allows for freedom that the system that calls itself freedom refuses to allow. Reason 11 with Europa, Thor & Subtractor. A few instances of Parsec and Megasaur. A few of Surge and Vital for the sake of it. The video was made in HitFilm Express with plenty of use of Fractal Noise & Atomic Particles.

I noticed that everyone was a bit afraid of the electronics. Composing helped me understand how to mix better. ... more
