ChaotiMusic 128 – Of Silken Wood and Grief
The title is a quote from the book To Hell And Back, by Lilith Saintcrow (the fifth and final title in the Dante Valentine series).
It is used to describe how a certain weapon feels.
As I was reading it I felt that it was a good phrase that sums up how I felt whilst finishing the book.
The song itself is…. weird. It is based around the D#/Eb Moorish Phrygian Scale with a 9/8 time signature, which those who understand what that means would know is not a basis for any kind of normal pop music.
In terms of instrumentation it is mostly synth driven, with a few guitar solos laid over the top in strategic places.
Genre wise, I think the music by Fear Factory, Liquid Tension Experiment and Frank Zappa I listened to last night might just have influenced the style. It ended up in some kind of weird avant-garde jazz fusion place with an industrial edge in the percussion.
Hence me calling it weird.
