Finite Element, WEFT Sessions - (2) The Patterns of Her Eyes

Today's selection from WEFT Sessions, 1 December 2003. Download it here: "(02) The Patterns of Her Eyes."

I should really get Sunil to guest-write some of this stuff; as it turns out, I'm forgetting some of the stories behind the songs. My likely flawed recollection is that Sunil read about a guy that was in an asylum (or maybe jail) who was obsessed with eyes -- understanding them, drawing them, etc. Something like that. That story inspired this song.

In this version of the song, we're moving much faster than in the studio version; nerves, I guess. Also, Mike the studio engineer reinstates Sunil's guitar volume. This causes the solo to be a bit loud in the middle. Sunil had already compensated for the low volume by adjusting his guitar, but the solo setting on his pedal plus the increased volume on the studio side blows everything up. (OK: not literally.)
