Music composition and recording: I recorded this song on Cakewalk's Home Studio. Most of the parts were played on a Korg M50 synthesizer. I also played alto saxophone in one section. The percussion parts were built up from pre-recorded loops.
The song is influenced by some African styles, most notably Juju music. You can hear some of the following elements:
a) Use of a strictly pentatonic scale (meaning there are no Western-music-style chords)
b) An interplay between melodic instruments playing rhythmic lines and pitched percussion instruments. There is not such a clear distinction between rhythm and melody.
c) A song structure that doesn't really on the usual verse, chorus and bridge structure
Of course, there are electronic music influences as well, such as the music in the album by David Byrne and Brian Eno--My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (which is also influenced by African sounds and rhythms).
The song was composed as a companion piece to my most popular song: Dreams, which was loosely inspired by Balinese Gamelan music: youtube=youtube.com/watch?v=QRtHl9n-G3o
