Circlejourney ✑ booklet commentary

I had a lot of fun making Zeitgeist, possibly more than I did on any other track on this album. The bassline is inspired by (and indeed the creation of the whole track was precipitated by) the chorus of Boney M’s Rasputin. There you go, now you’ll never be able to unhear it.

To me, the track evokes the feel of a decade past, although I can’t pinpoint which one that is. It has that funky bass, a twenty-piece string ensemble, an erhu, white noise effects, bitcrushing, goodness knows what’s going on in here.

As a play on both track and title (“zeitgeist” literally translates to “time ghost”), the art features a clock and a hoverboard surfer straight out of Back To The Future. Probably a second-rate professional time-traveller.

Nighttime cityscapes are a favourite subject of mine, and here I thought it would really fit the feel of the track: metropolitan, up-tempo, and retrofuturistic.
