(I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised that many of you liked yesterday's track, "One Cat's Bread".  Yay!  I'm surprised, because every other time that I've posted something even remotely jazz-related, it has struggled to get listens--much less likes.  Even my KID said they liked what they heard of that track...though, they didn't feel compelled to listen to the whole track. ;)   Thank you!)  

Today's track is a very much more standard straight ahead electronic dance track.  It's a bit tech house, a bit trance, a bit synthwave...and, adding some vocal snippets from a movie, a television show, and from one of my favorite comedians...it seems quintessentially Interbay.  

Not much to say about this track--though, I do have a funny story about its creation.  I had the title first.  And I wondered what I might possibly have to say about something universal.  Living where I do, the concept of "universal health care" is a regular topic of conversation (shame that it isn't elsewhere in the United States, but the radical left coast can only do so much!)  

So, as I was making the music for this track--I wondered if there was any possible way to express my opinions on universal health care WITH the music.  

...and the answer to that turned out to be...no.  

Not really.  I grabbed a snippet of a friend of mine's comedy--just to use the word "universal" from it (which, if any of my comedy friends were paying attention to my music production, they probably could guess who's been sampled...because who ELSE would it be?)  

...and then I fell back on the more expected use of the term...being space related.  (Though, I thought ever so briefly about making it about the new Epic Universes land opening at Universal Orlando.  I gave up on that idea when I realized that, in order to sell out, I'd have to sell...any.  Haven't done that yet, so the eventual turn towards commercialism in a late capitalist society will have to wait.)  

The space-y samples are fairly identifiable--processed though they are, someone wanting to make Icarus plummet to his death could easily do so.  (Please don't.  Icarus deserves to fly!  And live!)  

I'd put this track on a mixtape.  I'd put this track in a dj mix.  I'd play this song a few times on SoundCloud and I'd give it a like, too!  If I hadn't posted it myself, I might have reposted it.  I might have even shared it with friends, if I had any.  I'd leave a positive comment like "Good going, Interbay!  You're so clever.  And even handsome for your age!".  Might even add it to a playlist (actually I might do that...)  

It would be awesome if YOU did a couple of those things too--in addition to following along with this crazy Interbay music project!  A brand new track is being dropped EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!) and I hope you'll want to find out what the NEXT one will be like!  :)
