I feel it fits well with the rest of the Awaken The Androids collective piece yet is quite different. It's pretty different from any track I've ever written let alone. Short, straightforward structure, kind of jazzy, some drone aspects to it I guess, strange little number... I like it though.
It's in the title; sleep wasn't happening. I hopped on Ableton Live. It fell into my lap in about half an hour. I tend to usually labour over songs or individual elements for days, even months sometimes.
Below is regarding the conceptual side of things following a time traveller sent to observe the human condition across time:
TRANSMISSION LOG 06
The Observer Suffers Sleep Deprivation
The observer reports states of unease during downtime.
Assumed cause of restlessness is sensory overload - a common symptom reported among assigned time travellers; often a result of regular repeated exposure to historical precarious and/or menacing public surrounding conditions.
The observer describes unexpected brief periods of euphoria followed by longer periods of “weighted bewilderment”.
If while listening something occurs you fancy sharing, please do. I'm not precious and am open to critique.
Cheers,
