about

iLo and I - we got along quite well, and at one point he sat in my room, listened to some Work in Progress and we realized we'd like to work on something together. A few months later he worked on a school project and instead of just using any song to fit the photos he took, as suggested for the assignment, he decided to take the chance to collaborate and work on something own.

His concept for the photo series was to capture different doors or gates and order them by size - starting with the smallest, tightest door - getting bigger and opening up from then on. The track should reflect on that idea - steadily building from the simple plucking of the guitar to the bright stuffed climax.

iLo wrote the initial guitar part, the backbone of the track. We shortened it, recorded it, and it took me some time until I've added elements and knew how I wanted the piece to progress. For the single release I wanted to extend the track, which was the main reason it took so long to get finished - I struggled to continue the work.

Sadly, there is some unwanted noise in this track which is due to the fairly bad mic we used to record the guitar. Mixing-wise I'm neither completely pleased but we certainly wanted to get this project done.
