I.B. Fokuz commentary on Trk 2: Baptism

And we continue...

IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE SONG OF THE WEEK, GO TOHTTP://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ADVENTISHERE TO LISTEN TO IT.

"Baptism" was a fun trk to do. "Just so you know", I asked Gilead to give me a CD of songs that he would like for me to sample so I could kinda get a vision and sound of where he wanted to take this project. And also, I felt it would be more of a comfort zone to have a sound scape that mirrors what he listens to on a regular and what inspires him as a fan. Like I said b4, I aimed to link his past projects to "Advent" but also letting the songs on this project bring imagery. I wanted it to feel like the listener can actually see his steps into becoming complete.

Since we started the album off with the self title trk "Advent"(explaining his transition from darkroom to death Penalty Shots to now). The next trk had to be that traditional 2nd song that kinda gets the album rolling. The sample I used came out to be very atmospheric to me, as if it was a breath of fresh air. So I suggested coming off "Death Penalty Shots" with dead bodies on the floor everywhere in the room and picturing this song as a door that he is finally opening, that leads him down a path of his own spiritual evolution. Which he executed perfectly!!! I can go on and on about how I feel about this trk, but really in my heart I'm curious to see what the people feel. So please, tell us your thoughts and tell us what you got from this trk: "Baptism". Until next week.
Peace
I.B. OUT!!!
