Written in c. 1991 and 2013 / Recorded in 2013
In between 1985 and
2001, I made countless amount of recording materials from my own musical
activities. As far as my original contents concern, I tried to organise them as
well as possible, especially in early years, but there are some exceptions in
any human conducts. While I was working at converting these original materials,
mostly recorded on cassette tapes, to digital mp3 files, I came across with a
very rough sketch recording of this tune. It was found in a tape that contains
other materials from 1990 and some other pieces from 1992, but there was no
mention of this unknown tune on its hand-written label. The tune was played by
a synthesizer with no accompaniment, contained many mistakes and its loose
rhythm keeping was quite horrible. I could not remember on what kind of
occasion I have recorded this thing but I could acknowledge certain elements particular
to my own composing style back in the days. On top of that, actually I thought
it would sound quite cool if only the tune was played in a proper way,
therefore, I decided to make a new demo recording to make sure how it would
sound like.
In this new
recording, conducted on May, 2013, original synthesizer part was converted to
the piano sound and its recording scene was captured to be shown in the video.
I also added a guitar part that was newly written for this occasion. For I felt
something similar to Gustav Holst’s Mars, the Bringer of War, when I listened
to the original sketch demo since its discovery, I put a title referring to the
planet onto this untitled/unknown tune from the past.
