Miserable Experiment

from Straitjackets by Etienne Carstens

/

about

This track, like 99% of all my creations, was just another experiment (hence the name). The story behind it is rather simple and somewhat uninspiring; in fact it comprises of me chanting randomly and subsequently layering each chant on top of one another. Simple.

However, I had completely forgot that I made this until I accidentally stumbled upon it in some inconspicuous corner of my harddrive. It made me realize how many experiments I have done, how each and every one has played a pivotal role in my understading of what I want to create, but also, it has made me aware of how many tracks I have done which will never be heard. Predominantly because I do not like them and thus do not wish to post them.

The truth is this is a universal issue. I do not post my tracks for reasons presented earlier while other, more renowened, artists' work might not get published due to lack of profitability. Or rather that it "does not meet the fans' requirements". Either way, a creative piece that is shelved could have been one individual's greatest inspiration, and that, in its truest definition, is a tragedy.
