Aside from getting more releases published on Kunaki, I’ve been taking a break from Caustic Reverie. I’m getting back into a more rock-based songwriting mode. There’s a contest on the SA forums to write a song based on a random Wikipedia entry that I’ve entered, so the past week or so I’ve been trying to put something together.

The lucky article: Jagadish Chandra Bose, a noted Indian physicist and Royal Society member who may have beaten Marconi to the punch on wireless transmission; a man who didn’t rest on laurels (or patents) and ended up devoting some major study to biology and plant growth.

This theme turned out to be much more workable for me than the Panama Canal was in the last contest. I’ve written a song about one of his books entitled Response in the Living and Non-Living. Below is the work-in-progress demo with scratch vocals and some VST instruments that I’d like to replace.
