It is the season

Liner Notes
My take on this FAWM was doing each song about one of my friends. But the flu had struck me (as it does during the winter), so I had run behind my FAWM schedule... That got me thinking about making a song about how the #flu sounds, which meant this song could se thought of as being about myself... which kinda counts.
But how do you make an #instrumental about the flu? I had no real idea, so I started toying around with all kinds of #noise. I couldn't really find the right noises and wanted more tonal stuff to make it more 'musical' and not TOO #chaotic for my own taste. In the end I think it turned out rather nice, although totally not what I had in mind beforehand. But that's fine.

Like the synth chord stabs that immediately make you pay attention. Love the dynamics and various big drum, synth hits and swells. This makes me feel like I'm flying low to ground; dangerously close to lots of obstacles on the ground and in the air. Full of danger, but taking in the beauty of it all. Great movement in this.

I really like the way this builds and how the kind of random percussion occasionally becomes more cohesive, definitely not too chaotic, nice end result indeed.

I can imagine it as an attack by all your mighty antibodies fighting the nasty virus. With some light sneezing along the way. Hope you’ve long since shaken it off. I thought this was really nicely done.
