پیانو

I make a lot of different types of music, I write weird folk music, and punk rock and dance music. And when I was making this record I didn’t know what type of record it should be and then at some point I thought, well it’s a record inspired by empty cities at two o’clock in the morning. And when I am not making music in empty hotel rooms at two o’clock in the morning I listen to a lot of weird, old, electronic music. So I thought, oh, I guess this album should be an album of weird old electronic music. 

So the song ‘Sevastopol’ it’s an instrumental that originally I thought I was the only one who was gonna like it. And I played it to my manager and few other people and they liked it. Which made me think that I should actually put it on a record and the more I lived with it the more I really liked it. 

It’s hard to speak positively about my own music but what I really like about this song is, it’s quiet driving, it’s ostensibly a dance song, but the music is really mournful with quiet a lot dissonance in it. It’s sort of big, enveloping, cinematic, electronic, melodic component with quite cold, repetitive electronic drum loops underneath. 

When I was in the Ukraine, there is a town in Ukraine called Sevastopol and I just thought it’s the coolest sounding name for a town. So there is literally no correlation between the name and the track except that I like the track and I like the name and I thought they somehow make sense together. Maybe in the future I will say that the song was written in Sevastopol except someone could check and realise I never actually been to Sevastopol.
