...through the electronic medium. The source of the main melodies came from repetitive hooks I found myself sporadically singing or humming
during day to day business.
Think of the joyful tunes whistled during a walk. These melodic mantras seem to pop up out of nowhere and go on repeating forever. When I'd
notice this, I'd hang onto the melody until I could get to the studio and bang it out, no matter how obvious or straightforward it was.
Once the main melodies and inflections were out, I could carefully construct an audio bedding for them and see where it led. From a larger perspective, I
felt that the search for these melodies was similar to unearthing subconscious archetypes that drive reality.
The process was like discovering an ever-flowing undercurrent of reality that can be translated directly into melody. In this case, it felt that the source
of them all must absolutely be love.- KiloWatts
