about

This is the extended instrumental from "More Songs About Demons". For a long time this track was called 'Song 210', right up until I had to send the album off to be mastered, at which point I remembered an in-joke(*) from my old Doom level, 'The Sky May Be' at which point it became known as "This Is A Triangle".

This track was recorded in June 2010, and the album was mixed on Nov.20th of that year.

The motif starting around 1:48 and repeated at the end was intended for the song titled 'Demonhunter'. It didn't pan out and eventually I wrote a completely different song based on the Demonhunter concept, the one which actually is on the album. The original version was reused as part of this track, along with a couple of other bits and pieces including the section starting around 5:23, which was the bridge from another abandoned song called 'The vegetable son' (a rather mean jibe at The Who's concept album, Tommy).

The song was recorded on 1/2" 8-track tape, with the basic mono tracks on one machine. This needed some reduction mixes, so a stereo drum track and extra keyboards were recorded on a second synchronised 8-track machine.

(*) - An argument occurred during level design of 'Sky May Be', where I was trying to do something which didn't pan out involving a triangular pillar with a switch. My brother fixed it, but made the pillar hexagonal. To get my own back, I created a gigantic sign, about 6000 points high, with the words "This is a Triangle" repeated down it. The icon is a screenshot showing part of this.
