Progress Way

“Anight” was one of the first songs I wrote for Contraflow Continuum, back in October 2021. Not long before I had come back to my flat after spending 6 weeks back in my home town visiting my family for the first time in close to 2 years. It was really great, but I had subtle constant stress that I wasn’t working on any music during that time and mentally - that was a challenge. When I got back to “daily life” I tried to force myself to complete music as fast as I could (something which I am not good at) and I struggled. Starting endless demos - trying to keep a particular feel and sound and feeling like every day was another 16bar loop. I was staying up later and later at night trying to make progress, cycling more and more every day to keep myself sane, and just hoping for something to fall together. Eventually I “gave up” and settled on working on a demo that was, at the time, called “house feel”. 

I knew it was a little bit different than my other work, using more acoustic sounds and a big portamento chord sound I made with a Prophet 5 emulation but I just wanted to finish something. I finished it over the next couple of weeks I called the final revision of the project “Anight” as I made much of the song at night time and I moved on. This song helped me get back to finishing music and I quickly moved on to work on some other songs for the album. 

A few months later, I had a lot more music completed for the album, and all that time I avoided this song, feeling as though I did not connect with it and due to that, I avoided listening to it all that time. 

Eventually, in early 2022 I sent the unreleased songs to Stratford Ct. and to my partner and asked what they liked and what single I might release...to my surprise ”Anight” was their answer. So I listened again that day having not heard it in a while, I had butterflies in my stomach and by the last section I had tears in my eyes, and I felt as though that last 1 minute might be my favorite part of any song I had written to date, it was definitely the first to bring a tear to my eye.
 
I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for listening.

"Lotusland" was created to feel slightly otherwordly. I worked on this song over an 8-month period and I was trying to capture the emotional state of joy and wonder but with a subtle hint that overindulgence in such is also not a good state.
The last minute of the song has a shift in feeling, slightly more blissful and dreamy, but with subtle deliberate changes in the sound quality to reflect this hint that more is not always better. That is where the title "Lotusland" came from - a term meaning "An idyllic realm of contentment and self-indulgence".

Hope you enjoy and thank you for listening.

"The Electricity Between Us" is a vibrant, pulse-pounding track that captures the raw energy and undeniable chemistry between two people. With electric guitar riffs and driving synth beats, the song surges with passion and excitement. The lyrics explore the magnetic connection that sparks when two souls collide, comparing the intensity of their bond to the crackling force of electricity. The verses build anticipation, while the explosive chorus radiates with power, reflecting the thrill of a relationship charged with emotion and tension. It's a high-energy anthem that pulses with the electricity of desire and connection.

Decaf was born the same weekend I decided to stop drinking coffee  (after about 10 years and thousands of double expressos - I needed a break for a while). 

This song and my experience in quitting coffee lived almost parallel lives, the first week I had headaches, I was agitated and didn't sleep too well. During this time I was working on this track, frustrated with the ideas, and putting in a lot of hours and making no progress. Things continued like this throughout the week and I considered just putting this song into the "in progress" folder where it likely would be forgotten forever.
 
After that first week, In a last attempt to salvage something from the work I had done I scrapped the core of the track(which at this point was some chord stabs and a big sequenced part from the Moog Matriarch synth) - I removed the tracks and practically started again, keeping the chords but moving from stabs to huge long decaying pad sounds - the sequenced melody remained but now for just 1 bar of the song (before the second verse). Suddenly the track built itself over a few evenings - at the same time, I was no longer feeling so agitated or suffering caffeine withdrawal headaches. 
 
The song, whilst it was so close to being dumped after the first week suddenly started sounding good to my ears again - I guess in some way it was the difficulties and progressions of quitting coffee portrayed into music production.  
Anyway - I hope you enjoy it.
