A short introductory song, loosely themed around the cyclical feeling of waking up in the thick of pandemic times, facing the same day as yesterday and the day before ad nauseum.

The experiment here is trying to portray a simple feeling of how it feels to live where I do (bay area CA). I used NI's Giant piano through reverb and granular delay, on top of ambient recording of a rare rainstorm behind my apartment.

The wide voicings really hooked me when I was feeling it out. For example, the first chord is (G-D-E-B-E-A-B-C); imo it has a bright but ambiguous sound, especially next to the lush and slightly darker third chord (E-D-F#-A-B-E-A). Notating them is tough, tho...

One way considering all notes would be Am11/G-Dm11-Bm11/E, another with basic functionality would be CM9/G-Am7/D-Bm7/E. Afterwards, the progression is transposed down a whole step two different times. Chords in the beat are simple enough: 2x(DbM9-EbM9)-2x(Cm11-Gm11).
