"Crazy Walk: The Screaming Of The Animals"
The piece is deliberately mechanical in many places because we are killing machines to our animal brethren.
Pianos from Kat & I start the piece.
The beginning is the Judas Goat, the animals following it because it seems innocent enough.
The basses provide an ominous portent of things to come.
The Turbulence guitars are sharp blades, the background is sequenced synths over Chuck's 6-string Schecter Stiletto bass, Music Man 5-string bass & OBX.
Then the pounding in the chests, when the animals panic, the racing heartbeat which precedes death.
Then my part, which is so simple to do from a playing standpoint. From a human standpoint, it rips me apart.
Modified sampled screams from a slaughterhouse played on my Triton synth, Keera's Roland synth mimicking blood running from the neck, a sequenced wobbly bass depicting the helpless thrashing of the body as life speeds away so fast.
Then the final breath, and the faster-than-imaginable onset of darkness, nothingness, the "why?" scream caught in your throat.
