Song #8: Visceral

As mentioned in previous blogs, this song is our long, psychedelic track, and closer to our album. This piece was inspired from the prevalent psychedelic rock scene from Australia, This song is slower, more peaceful, and does not follow the conventional structure of contemporary music. At around 7 minutes in length, this song is comprised of various verses, bridges, and refrains that are largely instrumental, and hope to both capture and emulate a particular feeling. My job for this song is not to create something that feels normal or conventional, but to evoke a certain sensation in the listener. I know not what people will feel when they hear the tune, but if they feel something, then I have succeeded. A more ambitious song than others on our album, it has several parts, and in a way acts like two separate songs that seamlessly flow into the others, featuring synthesisers and string samples, finishing off with a brief solo piano piece. I hoped to create a song that would wrap up our album, and feel like an epic finish to our catalogue.
