The final track was my attempt at musically conveying what going through with the actual act would be like. A culmination of dark and bright thoughts, a sense of letting go and at peace with your choice, followed by the sudden cutoff of consciousness. |
"What I've done is to throw together events from my own life, fictionalising to add colour – it's a pot boiler really, but I think it will show how isolated a person feels when he is suffering a breakdown.... I've tried to picture my world and the people in it as seen through the distorting lens of a bell jar".
That sounds like a damn powerful book. And it's fascinating that you made music from what you learned about a person. Now I really do like the cut off ending. Though, it's very sad.
