Higher Than Life?

from Dreamland by Jennifer Maidman

about

This track takes it's name from the 'found footage' speech at it's beginning. The music started life as David looping and improvising over and beyond the end of 'Magic Voice'. Then Jerry joined in on drums and percussion, and Annie with an amazing wailing trombone.I added the bass, organ and piano. Matthew dubbed it up some. Other stuff happened by accident and/or design, including bits of random speech and the Sawkill Fire Department siren crooning over the end section. I had been planning to sing something subtle at that point, but just as I hit record, the siren started, right on the beat, with very strident major third relative to the minor key of the track. It seemed like it was meant to be, so I dropped the vocal and kept the siren.
