about

This track uses a Roland SH-01A alongside a Korg Kaossilator. The SH-01A is a reproduction of the original and iconic Roland SH-101 that was produced during the 1980s. With growing interest in vintage synthesizers Roland reproduced a bunch of instruments from the past as the Boutique range. These instruments are reasonably priced and are also perfect for gigging, particularly for those seeking portability and ease of use. The Korg Kaossilator is a forerunner of the hand held synthesiser movement and produces a wide range of sounds on a continuous music loop.

The words for this track continue with the ongoing lyrical collage of the overall album. In amongst these variable messages is the fact that a lifetime is a lot like a calendar with its own seasons and phases such that there is no such thing as routine – every day is so very, very, very, different from the last.
