Ancient Mariner

from the sublime disorder by Steve BLaque

about

hard to work out how all of this came about, but things can happen, and often happen slowly in my world. best i can remember this song was 'born' in around 1995 in sydney when the guitar lick built from an andalusian tutorial from a guitar playing magazine got into my system. i distinctly remember playing the riff pattern in the back garden of a sydney terrace. cut to beijing a few years later and by around 2002 i'm writing a song about the end of a relationship i'm involved in because the girl was much younger and i just wasn't 'being me' within that relationship. so that's where the story comes from....i reckon this version was a very very early piece i did maybe even with a computer microphone and may date to 2004. there is i think from memory a 2 bar drum loop that syncopates the guitar playing....any bass would have been synthesized since i didn't have a bass guitar with me at that time....

that guitar player magazine from 1995 and myself on this one....doesn't get much more than that ...perhaps to john costelloe who we don't hear on this track but who jammed many times on it with me during the early 2000's prior to it being recorded in east beijing.
