(If you didn't give yesterday's Interbay track, "Discontinuity", a listen--go and do that now.  It's worthy of your attention--and this song will still be here when you get back.  Thanks! pg)

"Now I dream of you...passing by..."  

This track is the 398th song posted in the Interbay music project since mid-January 2023.  (This is the 258th straight day of posting tracks here on SoundCloud and before that, 140 tracks--with videos--were posted on Facebook.)  And this is the first time that I think I've created something truly distinctly original.  I don't know of anything else that sounds like this.  

Granted, I always say that no matter what I'm trying to sound like, it always sounds like Interbay more than anything else--but when I use the tag "mutant pop" to describe nearly every Interbay song...in THIS case, I can't think of a closer description.  

Go ahead, hit play...and read along as I'll try to catalog the combination of elements that I'm not sure has ever come together like this before.  

You've got singing on this track.  Lots of it.  While all Interbay tracks posted here to SoundCloud, there will be a vocal element--but often, it is in the form of dialogue or spoken word.  Occasionally, there's some singing--but this track is silly with it.  

You've got a female vocal line--very ethereal and dreamy (reminds me a bit of the slept on Interbay track "Selfishly"--go check that one out, it is deep in the back catalog.)  You also have a male vocal line with a more complete narrative, singing about a girl that he seems to both admire and, perhaps, feel intimidated by...at the same time that he doesn't worry about saying something negative about that same girl.  The interplay between the two creates the central tension in the song.  But then there's a bunch of wordless vocal adlibs...soaring into space and surrounding the entwined narrative elements.  

The first instrumental element you'll hear sounds like a synth sound you might have heard from a pop trance song of the late 90s early 00s, but it's actually a piano...the hammers hitting strings without the cabinet resonance.  It sometimes gets buried by other sounds, but it is, I think, always there throughout the song.  Add to that an insistent and occasionally relentless drum pattern-- that can best be described as "rest-kick-kick-kick" (though there actually is a rimshot on the 1, it blends in with the first note from the piano so you might not notice it.)  And don't forget some crazy hi-hats propelling everything forward.  

This track has guitars.  You've got an almost Spanish style guitar playing minor arpeggios, you've got another guitar playing palm muted plucks, and still a third guitar--an acoustic playing rather punk-like down struck chords.  

The bass has a nice bounce that counterplays with the guitars well.  There's some synths, subtle and grainy, a few times in the track...

What else?  Oh...you've got big 80s orchestra hits (what?) and something that sounds like a duck. (WHAT???)  

If this isn't mutant pop, I don't know what is.  (Otherwise, I'd have to come up with a word that means "Electronic indie trance pop 80s 90s spanish rock midtempo house jangle alternative rave up."  I'm pretty good with words, but I'm not THAT good.  

So, if you're up for an adventure into the world of mutant pop, the world of Interbay...then you'll get into "Passing By" in a big way!  

...and, as always, it would help if you listened, liked, reposted, shared, added to a playlist, left a comment, sent a message...but MOST IMPORTANTLY, give this page a follow as new tracks are being posted EVERY SINGLE DAY (258 days straight so far!)  

...this also means there is a DEEP back catalog for you to explore at your convenience.  There's some really good stuff in there that you'd like, I'm sure!

"Passing By" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

THE WORLD IS GOING CRAZY
The world is going crazy
The people lost their faith
They all got dumb and lazy
The age of click and bait

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly

And I don’t need no guidance
To know which way to go
I jump into abundance
Of rivers in their flow

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly

This life is never ending
You have to free your mind
No reason for pretending
That you’ve been deaf and blind

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly
