Album Notes:
I semi-apologize for the semi-weirdness of this track. Tonal Theory eludes categories. Probably best described as a mixture of psych rock, LA rock, NYC improv rock, and an ambient version of early west coast beach rock. With a hint of inspiration from Twin Peaks. And respect to Dick Dale.

Along with its indirect East Indian and Asian inspirations.

All of this propelled by a rolling echo pulse beat.

I listen to so many different styles of music that even I don't know where these chords and tonalities come from. But it is interesting how different music forms often share similar structures.

There's also a surprising amount of dissonance. I have no idea why it sounds so normal.

One spontaneously composed solo electric guitar.

When I recorded this, I just let it rip. One take. No overdubs. No edits. Basic signal chain.

Upcoming Tracks:

2. Pulse Ontology
3. Tension Bay
4. Mystic Mountain Analysis
5. Run Don't Walk
6. Reverse Instinct

That's if I can ever get back to this. But at least I was able to come up with the track names for a possible future album.
