Written and recorded in Chinatown, Liverpool, Summer 2016.

Bido lito! organized one of their "In response to..." series that summer, they invited a bunch of musicians to the Tate to take a look at the Francis Bacon exposition on show at the time and then come up with an original piece of music inspired by an artwork. Upon hearing about the idea I was instantly excited to get involved.
I have always been fascinated by the connection between visual media, sound and music and in my brain they go hand in hand. I often think of images while I'm creating music and sounds, and this offered an opportunity to reverse the process.

They wrote about the track:
Igor Delgado Martin of Evil Pink Machine explains the process of writing and recording his crunching and jarring track, inspired by Bacon’s 1949 painting: “Using a picture of the artwork as reference, I started jamming on my synth, trying to find sounds and melodies that resonated with the painting. Then I repeated the same process with guitars and drums and everything started coming together. I chose a 7/4 time signature to emphasize the feeling of awkwardness and incompleteness. I wanted the listener to experience a similar feeling to what I felt when looking at the artwork.” A sax solo, which Igor refers to as a “failed attempt at a conventional sax solo” and that was almost deleted adds to “the sonic mess that can be heard on the track”.

Not for the faint of heart.
