The album was conceptualized, composed and recorded from January 2020 to November 2020 – from start to perpetuation of the Covid 19 pandemic. Travel restrictions prevented face-to-face collaboration which required on-line exchanges to instruct, arrange, record, polish and finalize the songs.The songs were composed in Yangon, Myanmar, where RC Seeb has been stationed for overseas work since Nov 2019 – around the time Plan Z was released. Mainly composed using an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar and MIDI keyboards, the songs encapsulate the creative outpouring from daily encounters, relationships and current events.Similar to Plan Z, this album is a mix of different genres with the intention of minimizing restrictions on the artistic expression of emotions and social commentary of the lyrics, rhythms and melodies. From the raunchy “Eyes only for you”, the groovy tune of “Saigon by night” and the worship song “Nothing can separate”, the country-esque feel of “Skip all the days” and “Five minutes”, topsy turvy “Melancholic noise”, and the mellow “Himbing”, the album presents a spectrum of aural adventure across the palate of music afficionados.As with any other artist, the art we produce is an extension of ourselves. Appreciation of such output, no matter how crude or raw, is in all essence the reason why these songs were crafted. For what is a sight for if not to behold; what then is music if not intended to be heard.
