about

"Hard WATER" began as something else. There was no guitar. Originally it was 8 tracks of Absynth, my own patches, ca. 2005-2006... "Nebulous", a great mess I'd made in Cubase SX2 with the old Reverb A, which had a 'room size' that went on out to astronomical scale.

People would call that 'dark ambient' or like that. The result was compelling enough to want to revisit and I went into 'sweetening' it, with percussion mostly.
By this time I had a general arc for the album "No Location" and this track could work at a certain point there. Ultimately I felt there should be a prominent foreground to fit with that material.
I had lived with the basis for a couple of years.
I hit the record button when I'm really prepared, when I feel I can just nail a thing. There aren't a lot of wasted takes, and here there was no compositing or false takes. However the production of this is another matter, which involved some massaging of the result.
