about

This track is a quirky big banger. After the rumbling and rising chords of the intro, you hear a series of different rhythms overlaid one by one. The first and most constant one you hear represents death, with each pulse representing a human death based on UN World Population data. I wanted to understand how frequently someone was experiencing what it is to die, and how frequently the people they knew were experiencing the loss of someone. The next rhythms represent people being diagnosed with breast cancer and HIV respectively, and then the rhythm of people being born. You begin to hear how the world is changing, how our population is increasing. I kept looking for more: could I hear the next generation? Of the females being born now, how many would likely have children and how many? How many cars are rolling off the assembly line? For me, 2014 was a year in which a significant change occurred in me and I began to make the kind of choices that have led to the creation of Frequencies, and I hope the music conveys my sense of wonder and gratitude for my chance to be here.
