about

Written and recorded in November 2014.

Honestly, I’ve never visited Galashiels, Scotland, let alone been lost in it. Galashiels is an old textile town not far from the east coast of Scotland, and is part of a list I keep in my head of European locales that have cool sounding names (Winterthur Switzerland, Copenhagen Denmark and Nottingham UK also make this list). I chose Galashiels from this list because it fitted nicely with the bagpipe idea I was playing around with.

The piece is just a bunch of rhythmic and sound atmospherics, along withthat synthesized bagpipe melody. I composed this as a respite during the making of the Nail album in late 2014. I never planned on using it for Nail, but at the time, I was in need of a break from mixing the Nail tracks and just wanted to sit down in my studio and experiment with sounds for a while. Sometimes interesting ideas shake loose using an approach like this. It’s almost like a composer’s Research and Development time: always fun, always creative, but rarely too serious and usually without a specific direction.

Maybe one day I’ll make it to Galashiels—and likely, it will sound nothing like the music in this piece. Perhaps I can find a synthesized alphorn for Winterthur next.

Gestalt
by Roofhare

supported by 8 fans who also own “Lost in Galashiels”

This EP was created using guitar, delay pedals and a looper pedal. It has an excellent experimental feel with great use of delay, layered sounds and feedback and Roofhare gets a huge range of sounds from the guitar. I really like the development of rhythmic sounds and interplay between the different delay effects which gives an ambience with a darker edge and great tension at times. Andrulian
