Song Production Information
SHUNZZY
This song was originally written for strings.
I had an image of an atom as a stringed instrument and imagined one atom as two, then three, then four, and so on, gently flying around.
The song ends with an explosion, but it also contains a little anti-war message. The sound was naturally a bit neoclassical, so I added African percussion and ambient loops to give it some originality.
I hope you enjoy the song and the events that take place during it, including the accordion and 12-string guitar interlude.

When I listen to this song, I feel like I'm listening to "something (a person? a thing?)" that will greatly change history in a big way is about to be born.
Everyone around you seems to be welcoming it with joy (first half of the song), but there are also those who are hiding a somber look on their faces as they imagine the fate they will have in the not-so-bright future (second half).
What do you think is the "something" that will be born?
I couldn't help but imagine a "something" that some people call it a "person" and others call it a "thing".
