about

The final track of the album.

This song focuses on Luke Skywalker.

As with each of these songs, there were different and unique circumstances surrounding the song's creation, that would inevitably occur....

I thought my main task would be to free my thoughts from my previous song about Luke (TK-421), from the previous album (You See The Echo), but that differentiation occurred naturally and intuitively. I focused only on creating this song, and the overall story arc, that connected with the present day (and future) Luke story, as well as his past (all the way back to his birth)

Unforseen factors always end up arising, and in this case, as I was assembling the latter 2/3rds of the song, my primary recording system (a 16 year old stand alone Tascam 788 digital 8 track), finally started to die, as the display screen would quickly go blank, and stay blank.

As a result, I had to finish the song, guessing that I was pressing the right buttons, and having to use only my ears and my memory for where things were throughout the song, and where I wanted them to go,
In other words, I really had to focus, and use The Force, in a very real way.

That said, since I edit "by hand" (in a repeating passage, each "repeat" recorded individually), I didn't require the display as much as I would, if I had been editing things digitally (using the editing system). Mostly the display helps to orient me in the timeline of the song, and some of the more technical functions, like mastering and backing up.

I found a pleasant irony in this, as it thematically connects with blindness in both the current Rebels tv show, and with Donnie Yen's character, in the upcoming Star Wars film, Rogue One (plus my longterm love for the Zatoichi character.

All of this, making this not just another song on this album, but the vehicle that barely finished, but still won, the race.

The picture irises out, and another song, another album is complete.
Thank you for listening, I hope you truly enjoy it.

Formed in the beginning of 2001, Wide-Eyed is Tina Lambright and Patrick Pyne.

Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
