“The Backroads of Time” suggests a science fiction concept, hidden paths through and around normal linear realities. I was partially inspired by the beginning of the original movie version of “The Time Machine”, with these clocks floating around ticking in a void. I was going for something where there were really only sounds and textures interacting, I tried to avoid any trace of tonality or definite pitch.
"The Backroads Of Time" is a stand-alone, and was one of the ideas predating recording that inspired me to do the album. It seemed to work better being placed towards the end of the album than the beginning.
