I walk out of my small house to buy from the little store. As I’m walking along the side of the enormous mountain, something strange catches my eye. I look closer and see the figure of a man….. Except it isn’t quite a man. It has the body, yes. But its face… It had no nose, and its eyes and smile were as black as coal. And its skin was pure milk white. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, but no matter what I did the figure always stood there. Then suddenly, he turned to look at me. His unblinking face and constant smile was absolutely terrifying. As he stared at me, I froze up, as if I thought if I stood still it couldn’t see me. I turned away to see if anyone else was seeing the horror I was, but no one was there, at this hour. As I turned back to the figure, it was gone. Gone like smoke in the wind. For a minute, I just stared at where it used to be, but then laughed to myself. After all, it was all my imagination.
Ok, this was very fun to make. It is yet another piano solo based on arpeggios, but don't judge. Those are my favorites (and your favorites apparently, my piano solos are my most popular). But unlike my first really good piano solo, this isn't only arpeggios the entire time. I tried to mix it up a bit, adding more variety. Arpeggios sound amazing but I can't rely too much on them. Throughout this song I used elements to make it sound imperfect or inharmonic, to fit through the theme. In many ways this is a sequel to Alexithymia. Despite this piece being a Billy lore piece, I also based it off of dissociative identity disorder, and you can see that with the duality of the song.
