Fucking Technology:

This song was inspired by a column I was writing for CDbabel about the threat MP3 distribution poses albums and music that does not offer instant gratification. The song, however, quickly came to focus on more general frustrations with technological “advancement.” While the title is never uttered in the lyrics, it exists as a frequent mental sigh when I play the song.

Although the rhythm is quite simple, the chords never repeat themselves in any sort of pattern. They simply go on and on until the very end. I decided playing bassoon would offer some irony. Not only is the instrument itself antiquated, but it represents a part of my own past, when it was the focus of my life.
