Silver & Gold

I originally began recording this track in Melbourne in 2017. It resurfaced a couple of years later, when I was in Auckland, completing a Masters in Music and experimenting with misusing technology. I took it into the cutting room and this is the result. Most of the 'music' are layered vocals run through massive chains of FX. 

The song itself is a speech delivered to a friend, former lover or possibly oneself when struggling with self-esteem issues and afraid to make a change for the better. 
 
I hope you like it.
