Normally, I come up with a concept and create the music around that concept, as a whole (an album). Not this time, though.
Last year (2011) saw the peak of my nervous/emotional/physical
breakdown (which, with increasing momentum, had been trying to get
me on my knees
for a few years and finally succeeded). I had started a lot of musical projects,
most of which I couldn't find the strength and focus to finish. Throughout
the year I came up with several unfinished tracks for those projects,
but I discarded a lot of them when I started feeling better and could
listen to them with renewed
focus and fresh ears. Some of them were ambient/space tracks that didn't
suit the albums I had originally composed them for, but were fairly
good in themselves. But, above all, they were perfect snapshots of
the way I
was feeling and what I was going through when I made them, during my
breakdown. "Lunar" was
the perfect concept to gather them under, as the way I felt was very
similar to being on the moon, alone, separated from reality and the
other people, only surrounded by the craters in my soul
and the moon dust on my emotions. So I finished those tracks (most required
very little work) and here they are, more personal diary than music,
as
usual.
