I thought I'm gonna skip last week's soundshoot theme 'Chaos' because I was away at Stonehaven. Coincidentally, soundshoot team made a change, instead of having a new theme every week, it is now two weeks. It also means that track submission duration is now 2 weeks, so I have an extra week to work on this theme! This really makes my life less busier.

Dota wallpaper best describes chaos:

For this theme, I start digging up my emotions and memories about frustration and confusion. Just as defined, 'complete disorder', chaos is those moments when you feel like you're not being yourself at all. I pretty much relate it to situations when worldly logic disagrees with my thoughts, it's like I'm having a fight with myself, mentally.

I used a pretty uncommon chords progression, which the bass line goes down chromatically from the vi chord, but it really gives the eerie and dark atmosphere. I'm using sound effects of fights and war behind the track to picture my image of chaos. It started with a piano lead that gives the identity, slowly build up with drums and strings, and a climax with distortion guitar taking the lead. It sorta signifies in the mental space, when problems arise from nothingness, we starts to wrestle with ourselves into a more intense battle.

"Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
-Zechariah 2:13-

There're a lot of opportunities facing temptation and being provoked living in this world. That's when conscience and human nature have conflicts, not having a good stance to make decision. Pray that God will always grant peace and self-control, and to love is the key to overcome all unfairness, Amen.
