about

This set of two tracks began with the conception of 'consciousness'.

For the longest time I had bits and pieces of the 'consciousness' track sitting around. I had wanted to do something with it, but wasn't sure it was going to fit with the current set of songs that became "my heart of stone". So it sat around some more.

After "mhos" was finished, I added in a small piano piece and rearranged what I had previously had for the track. It still really didn't fit with what I had planned for "traces of spirit" either, so... I thought I would just do a split single sort of deal... and make a kind of counterpart to 'consciousness'... where it's a little... I guess you would say on the lively part in some sort of a sense; 'inertia' was conceived to be a more flowing, not-quite-awake track.

And that's how these two tracks came around to being what they are. A nice little break from looping beats and bits. ;)
