Thoughts on hope, sitting and waiting for the sunrise.

Originally written and recorded in February 2011 for the FAWM 2011 contest.

The piano sound here is the piano sound from a Casio SK-5 keyboard fed through a Boss SE-70 effect processor, I forget what setting. I love effects processors, you can take a relatively cheap sound source, feed through a reasonably good processor, and end up with a great sound. The tracks were mixed in Acid, and I believe I may have added some resonance in Cool Edit 2000 but my memory is getting fuzzy about it at this point, this was originally recorded years ago. The title was suggested to me by a friend.

The keyboard sound is a sample of my voice played on the Casio SK-5, the drums come from sample libraries. Mixed in ACID. The title is meaningless, I just liked the sound of the word.

An ode to my computer, and a first attempt at figuring out how to make a video.
