I had a very vague image of some kind of relentless desert journey; hence the driving log drum and bass parts. The core idea of this composition goes back a long way and it's mutated many times.

Story behind the song
McCoy Tyner, Santana, and Keith Jarret were the very tenuous influences for this piece. The composition is not finished and needs melodies written for the floaty bits with all the key changes. It also needs solos in the middle and to take it out to the climax at the end. I'm leaning toward Sax solos or violin. I don't hear any guitar in my minds' ear, certainly not distorted electric. Maybe mandolin, nylon acc, or my ES-175. I've finally bought some new recording gear and can now complete this tune and about 10 others I've written. Although unfinished I thought I'd throw it up there in case I'm run over by a bus, or eaten by snakes. While this may not be one of my best compositions, it's the one I like the most.
