6 - Weighted (by Shadow People)
Sleep Paralysis
One of the least pleasant experiences I get to experience on a semi regular basis....however the folklore around it is fascinating.
An old hag sat on your chest, shadows holding you down......the list is a long one from around the world.
I wanted to capture some of the unease and discomfort, particularly in the percussive line and then the countermelody clashing with the melody again. Sampling this countermelody into it's own loop gives the track an eerie nature to it and hopefully conveys the image of waking up but your body still being asleep.....add in the common hallucinations of the witch sat on your chest or shadow figures holding you down and you can see where I was aiming at.
