about

This is my favorite song on the album and the first composition I was truly proud of. It originates from sounds I created on a train headed to Santa Barbara in August 2012. I was so distracted by the gorgeous views that I barely made any music over those 5 1/2 hours, but it was all worth it thanks to this one opening melody. The melody I created with the chimes must have been a very unusual time signature as it took me years to finally place a glitchy beat down that worked with it, which is how the first movement came to fruition. For the meat and potatoes of the album, I incorporated recordings of the “Skyfari” at the Zoo, which I had always called the “Skytrain” since childhood, hence the title of the song. The fact that the song originated on a train, included sounds of a “train”, and was further structured in 2016 on the train I took to work really hammered in the train theme.

On a spiritually thematic note, this song represents the frigid ascent to finding God’s light. It’s cold and distant up here, far removed from your comfort zone, and even harsher when traversed alone. The journey isn’t over and a turbulent storm approaches, but there is light in the distance and a faint voice crying out within the sound. Just a little further...
