After the break up of my band called Culotte, in early 1996, I reluctantly decided to go back to make music with using the rhythm machine. Whilst I continued to write new materials from scratch, I also reviewed some of my past works to be renewed for this new recording scheme. Ideas for this tune came from reviewing an old recording of a spontaneous jam I took part with my band called Elegance in the summer of 1991. The running time of the original jam was over half an hour long and it contained many impressive licks and phrases provided by a couple of guitarists there and me mainly played the keyboard. I picked up such impressive motifs and reconstructed the jam as efficiently as possible, with adding newly written bits for making overall consistency as an individual work. The result was yet a nearly-twenty-minute-long material separated in two parts.
Taking the opportunity of making this video, I tried to combine these two parts together, with eliminating unnecessary repetitions and relatively unsuccessful solos. In my self estimate, I think this video is the best presentation of what this quasi-composition was supposed to be.
