about

A grandiose song sketch, originally created using The Opus Game, wherein the participant sets out to record one extremely complex piece of music in one sitting. I then added to it for about ten years”. Navene Koperweis drum sessions recorded with the assistance of Dan Rathbun at Bratwurst rehearsal studio. Guitar, bass, cello, vocals and programming recorded by ND at studio B. Recording sessions for Shamrock and Wilson's drumming, guest vocalists, and ND's acoustic piano sessions, by Mark Stichman at Polymorph Recording. Final mix at home.

lyrics

"Hissing ear, just recursive noise floor to say.
Circle worm digesting dreams of endless sky.
A million lights that stay and stay,
Swing fire of worlds too far away.
Glow madder shades, waste black to grey.
Drawl bed year refuse look away

My life for you thought we’re all schemers here
We keep pictures of old friends.

Noise bath where tones obsolesce in bedtime cheer.
Immaterial feast just me at least in here.
The idea of me hates the real me.
Feel asleep under your tree.
Touch my hand through the screen,
White the god dies a child should be.

The long despaired have slave with their minds.
Tell me there is a smile no one likes.
But there are miles and miles of storm drains.
And all your life they hate the smile

When acquaintances get broken it helps not to think of them,
And even feel better in a dark movie theater.

My life for you thought we’re all schemers here
We keep pictures of old friends.
It was all real."
