A good friend of mine, Kate Luce was out visiting during the time that we were working on The Mirror. Thankfully, when she came out, she'd thought to bring her violin, an instrument that she's quite skilled with.

We had a wonderful weekend hanging out, and we'd even celebrated my birthday together which marks the occasion even more memorable.

Towards the end of our visit, she'd brought her 'axe' down to the dungeon that I'd been working in for music. A dank, cold environment that I believe Jay is still using. However, don't think to poorly of it, it's wonderful in the summer.

Anyway, I basically gave Kate a drum beat and just let her play for almost 2 hours straight. While I was recording her, I began mangline a lot of what she was playing and making loops of it all. Many of which are still in the final version. Some of the violin ended up sounding and behaving more like a synth, listen closely.

A year later, Jay had heard what Kate and I had done for fun and he began putting lyrics and vocal melodies to the track. The big and robust voice mixed with the sadness of the violin is most memorable.
