This one started by trying to experiment with richer chord progressions, essentially having chords progress down in thirds with some simple piano lines. That was fun but I couldn't figure out where to go from there until the middle of week, feeling a bit desperate.
Then it kinda clicked, the structure of a song appeared, and I got sucked into a post-rock vortex. The title itself is inspired by one of my favourite band Caspian. The fear of it sounding cliché, probably like something heard before, not good enough, was a bit paralysing at first, but once I let go, the whole recording and editing was done surprisingly fast.
I pretty much built the track as a demo on the Polyend Tracker but it was very difficult the bring the dynamics I had in mind with the limitations of the Tracker. I used only half of the Tracker's stems and headed to my DAW (Harrison Mixbus) to add some advanced drums (Toontrack plugin), record bass and guitars (both with a Line6 Helix), and then mix as well as I could. In the end I really like the song, it felt really good completing this track.
