"What happens on The Other Side?"
cosmosis.bandcamp.com/album/psychedelica-melodica
"The Other Side:" The initial basic idea for this piece was to write a melodic section over a couple if implied chords and then to create a second contrasting, spookier section to alternate it with in the ABABAB manner common to most other styles of music other than trance. However, with all the best intention in the world, the track soon took on a life of it's own and demanded that I added another section which served to build tension before the melodic sections (which repeats again later) and then a couple of breakdowns, and then an added climactic section and so on and so forth. I find this often happens during the process of creating music and over the years I have learned to become sensitive to it and to listen and follow orders by adding (and removing) parts and ideas as neccesary until the track is through with telling me how it wants to be. At this point the track is usually complete and just needs to be mixed down. In this particular case it appeared to have a lot to say about itself, with the result that I ended up with a track that was longer and very much more complex in terms of arrangement than my original idea. C'est la vie... :)
