    Story Behind the Song
    The words came out several years ago as one solid piece in the middle of the night, right before i left Reno, and reflects that time and place. Ashes is 141 BPM, and most of the sounds are originally from my beloved MonoPoly. The primary loop (zapkick and arpeggiation) was residing forgotten as a mislabeled loop on the EPS16+ harddrive. Once i got that loop and the vocals in the same place at the same time it all fell into alignment. Additional bassline from the Taurus2, vocal mutations facilitated by MoFX. Neurotic layout and manipulation in DP3.
    Grimy IDM-ish loop at beginning was an ASR10 glitchloop and Dr660 (using the tr808 kit) pattern and a little more of that chewy MonoPoly goodness thru the distortion and filter circtuits on the FilterFactory.

    Lyrics
    up all night
    sentient sound
    taking
    absorbing
    turning
    something growing
    accretion
    building

    up
    out
    through uncertain time

    not quite knowing
    breathing the rust
    structures falling

    tearing it down
    tearing it down
    tearing it down
    tearing it down
    shut it all off shut it all off shut it all off

    pushing
    pulling
    puncture the skin
    follow it down
    all the way down

    space and time
    push through it all
    cracking the ice

    broken surface

    up from ashes

    it brings the dreams back
    it brings the dreams back
    it brings the dreams back

    borrowed time

    rushing forward

    replicating patterns
    the part is the whole
    the part is the whole

    up
    out
    through uncertain time

    not quite knowing
    breathing the rust
    structures falling

    tearing it down

    structures falling
