about

This is an EP including 5 bonus tracks from the "NWO" recording sessions. These tracks, whilst reaching the expectations I wanted them to fit, just didn't fit correctly in the already long enough "NWO" main album, but it'd be a shame if these weren't shared with the public. So here they are !

TRACKLIST :
Meaningless (3:23)
Dying Flame (3:39)
Socks and Fingers (1:25)
Must've Been the Wind (6:11)
WHIDRX - Original Demo (5:45)

"Meaningless" is basically an alternative version of "For He Cannot Speak, except the mute trumpet was replaced by a flute and a clarinet.

"Dying Flame" is a more melancholic track using multiple pipe organs, flute and others.

"Socks and Fingers" is a short interlude that was made earlier this year to be part of another project, but then was distorted to fit inside of the middle section of "The Slow Blight".

"Must've Been The Wind" ALMOST made it to the final album, it was this close. But I felt like it kinda hurt the pace where it was placed (between "Nocturne" and "Ode to the Fortune Tellers") and it didn't really fit anywhere else. This is a minimalistic, sparse piano improvisation featuring a single ostinato being repeated and altered as the track progresses.

"WHIDRX - Original Demo" is, as you would expect, the original demo evrsion of the track "WHIDRX", this one was made 2 years ago when I was working on my album "These Things We Share", and I knew at the time that I wouldn't be able to make it truly beautiful, so I waited on it, until I was comfortable enough with orchestral sounds to make it the epic, moving piece it now is today. The original version is simpler, a bit sadder, the chords and notes are the same, but the mood is way different.
