An early attempt at blending basic dance beats (on a TR707) with sequenced patterns and some overlays of synth melodies (ESQ1 keyboard, Roland MT32 sound module).

A (con)fusion of influences - rocky stuff one day, some folky/acoustic tunes the next, and maybe some electronic ambience the day after that....
Welcome to Hilbert Space! Actually it's my space, I just borrowed the name from David Hilbert, a maths giant around the early 1900's; he formulated the concept of what became known as Hilbert Space, which basically extends Euclidean geometric concepts of our standard 3-dimensional reality into any number of dimensions. The elements of an abstract Hilbert space are typically sequences of complex numbers or functions; I really like multilayered sequencing, so some of these songs are my distorted equivalent of an n-dimensional Hilbert Space: lots of complex sequences going in all kinds of sonic dimensions! This small niche in cyberspace that you've stumbled upon is just another person's journey among the untold millions of us who like to dabble in the musical arts, and I'm thankful to all who have created the incredible technologies that allows us to effortlessly share our audio musings with others, rather than being discarded like "tears in rain" as Roy Batty lamented. Anyway, cheers to Hilbert, and may we all look a bit further outside our own space.

Story behind the song
The basic idea started with some separate themes that I realized could be chained together with a bit of tweaking and transposing. The song quickly grew into a quirky multi-part monster, with traces of Jean Michel Jarre, X Files, spag western, symphonic crashes, and other influences of the day, but with the central sequenced pattern running all the way through, like a train track carrying some kind of loco locomotive. Circa 1994.
