about

The Lost Transit Center (12:17, IL2)
HS: This is a classic example of what makes a piece an IL2: One of us suggested that we play a “slow Floyd”, and we just took-off on it for 12 minutes. As on “Previously Disenchanted” (from Yellow Star Mailing List, Great Artiste 89 JG002), I like the sense of majesty created by a good half-time feel. At around 6:20 I abandon traditional time-keeping and begin a long series of patterns between my hands and feet that move all around the kit, while Greg plays legato lines, using the volume pedal to great effect. The sustained guitar that begins at 2:20 and the grinding guitar passage at 6:10 blow me away every time I hear them. The four gong crashes at around 11:40 signal the beginning of the ending.
GS: This is in the same Dm tuning as “Night Circus”, which I actually quote during the piece. I’m really pleased with how well it follows the previous piece. We hadn’t checked the mic level on the gong before doing this- it was the first time during the sessions that we close-miked it- and we realized after we finished playing the piece that it might be too loud and that we might have to try it again. (“AAAHHH!!!”) Luckily it was loud but very usable. We ended up moving the mic back but I gotta tell ya, I like how it sounds climaxing this piece- SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! We probably never would have gotten that sound if we’d checked.
