Hand To Butterfly

This track is the oldest tune to feature on the Diagram EP, written way back in 2012, and was my first solo piece of electronica outside my writing for Calico. At the time it was novel just producing tracks beyond the limits of what could be played by a four-piece band, and Wolf Pack Howl established (for better or worse) a bit of a "kitchen sink" aesthetic, with something like 80 individual instrument parts over its three movements.

In listening to a lot of great electronic music I was frustrated that so many tracks had fantastic builds, but rather than break out into a high intensity drop (as is fairly standard in rock/indie) they would fall down into something minimalist and low-energy. Wolf Pack Howl was my attempt at making a build that actually went up at the end rather than down, so thank you to Sufjan Stevens for some inspiration there (Go listen to Age of Adz, like right now).

Another debt owed is to Floex's "Veronika's Dream", which inspired the second movement and subsequent build.
