Untitled 01

The piano sampled is a 50% slowed-down section from Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence," hence the title. 

The clicks in the beginning are the gears and shutter of my good friend Daniel's old Hasselblad camera, which I recorded while he took photos of me in a park in Munich. 

Three days later he used it to take the photo that serves as the cover art for these songs. That photo captures the same moment as the recording of the voices in the middle of the song. 

This moment took place at the very top of the tallest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze, where 15 other visitors from what sounded like at least six other countries were having incredulous conversations in their respective languages about looking down at the mountain and countryside below. 

At the end of the moment, I told Daniel I still wanted a picture of him, since he'd been taking photos of me for days. He asked, "A picture of me?" And i said, "Yea," before a stranger started to whistle.
