Piece based on Gelatin silver print of Paul Monday playing the piano by Heiko Jay.
"I was inspired to do a "blues" track by searching some info about the musician Paul Monday.
"I had to listen to many blues songs in the internet, to find the right mood and rhythm structure for me. In Ableton Live, I practiced some piano improvisations with my MIDI keyboard, added some steel guitar feel and programmed a "bluesy" rhythm pattern.
"Next, I decided to read and record the first description text for (maybe) blind people."
