This track was the result of a workshop at Ableton’s Pasadena headquarters just a week or so after the Eaton fire was contained. The air was still heavy and acrid, and recent political events were depressing and enraging. But I had a creative community at the workshop, and making this track alongside them returned me to the things that matter most. The sounds of Pasadena that week are all over this track: people in cafes in the morning and bars at night, my colleagues discussing ideas and chatting, the sounds of the street, and above all the sound of the automated crosswalk declaring “WAIT”. I took it as a reminder that all things pass. And as a reminder to take a moment to be in the moment. There will be better days. Take a breath. Wait.
