Return From The Pale 2020 Vision - Hindsight Edition Track 11 This song was primarily inspired by the main character in the game Disco Elysium. That game very quickly became one my forever favorites. This idea - A person, so driven by self-loathing and a desire for a past that never was that they brought themselves to oblivion - then proceeding to find purpose and personal acceptance by putting their disasterous, messy, very fallible self out into the world to "solve" it, one interpersonal "quest" after another. I was very touched by it. My first album, 2020 Vision was made in 2019 and originally released on Jan 1st 2020. It was a terrific experience, learning as I made, experimenting with all kinds of sounds and genres, but building with a full album experience in mind. The 12 tracks of the album rotate through the circle of fifths, with a track for each major key. It's a rather hopeful album I think, and it is interesting to look back on it, knowing just how much it contrasts with the year it entered. There is also a tinge of loneliness to some of the tracks, perhaps some of that underlying anxiety of seeing covid go down elsewhere in the world and wondering what could happen. This Hindsight Edition was an opportunity for me to go into the state of making these tracks, and feel out how my production has changed. One of the weaknesses of the original album was all the mastering was done with no prior experience, I literally had an ozone tutorial up as I did it. Nowadays I have a much better handle on those sorts of things and this Hindsight Edition is a way to get a new, clean modern master out there while still maintaining the original elements of the release. I hope everyone enjoys!
