Hypernova (Instrumental)

Liner Notes

#electronic #rock #odd_time_signature

I'll be adding vocals soon! Like its companion piece, it's in 11/4 time signature. It's a song about rage. There's plenty to be angry about these days, and sometimes it's hard not to be swept up in it to an unhealthy degree.

Lyrics

Burning up inside
projecting light
across the universe
Unrelenting, bright
cascading tide
Creation is reversed

Hypernova
My persona

Gamma rays obliterate
incineration opus
Space itself begins to melt
until the flower opens

Hypernova
Minor coda

Devastation, plight
Killer in the night
Bathed in blue light

Singularity inside me
Avalanche of excess energy
Tumbling down a rabbit hole
of hubristic persistent vitriol

Hypernova
Striking cobra

Safe and sound on solid ground
My mind is losing focus
A silhouette in pirhouette
Unfolding like a crocus

Hypernova

Desolation, flight
Killer in the night
Swallowed by blue light

Singularity inside me
Avalanche of excess energy
Tumbling down a rabbit hole
of hubristic persistent vitriol

I'm horrible at counting, so I'll take your word for it 😆
It lends an interesting feel - would like to hear it with the vocals.

Hearing this reminds me of how much I love 11/8 as a time signature. It's richly complex but it also has such a satisfying groove to it. The snare drum in this is a perfect metaphor for the rage of the lyrics; it's loud and stroppy and takes no prisoners, and it also gets the rest of the arrangement on its feet and moving.
