about

I had started writing this song in late September 2020 after diving into the Witch House genre of music as part of my personal soundtrack to this coming Halloween season. It had stalled for a few weeks as I continued to work on my forthcoming piece, "Time to Choose". For that song, my friend Tom Wooley had contributed a wicked synth solo which I just couldn't get to jive with the section for which it was written. I felt badly about not using it but I just could not find a way to force it.

Shortly after, in conversation with George Dobbs (a bandmate from 3rDegree), it was suggested to write a completely different piece around that musical passage regardless of the song for which it was originally written. Similar to Frank Zappa's technique of xenochrony, I thought about the unfinished Witch House track and knew I could make it work to great effect, even if it was in the same key and time signature as the original (which is decidedly non-Zappa-esque).

The final track as released turned out to be a combination of many elements: goth music, industrial music, EDM, found footage horror, psychological horror... and whatever it is that creeps you out as you listen.

It's happening again....
