The initial intention was to write a piece that messed with the concept of time like the hours I spent at the hospital that felt like forever. There were lots of sounds, beeps, screams, that all sounded like a drone to my ear. I recorded a conversation between two security guards as I sat on the floor of the hallway outside the psych ward door waiting for the nurse who took my mother to come back out to tell me everything was in order and that I could leave for the night. This piece is based on that recording. At the top I use a delayed vocal effect on exclamatory Oh-s for elongated rhythm. I then picked out rhythmic words and looped them. In the middle is the unspliced original.
