It leaves a lot of room for potential character development; in fact, it gives me the impression that Evan will reach a breaking point, hence the more powerful end to this track.

It's a bit of a loose interpretation of "waiting for time to pass," but I think it still embodies the central themes of frustration and tedium.

The process was very similar to [[Saoshyant]], mostly consisting of messing around with drum patterns and going ham with the strings. The Touhou Japanese influence started to leak in after a while, and I was powerless to stop it. For the majority of the song, the melody is driven by a koto, with support from a shamisen, though they switch places in the latter half. The shakuhachi makes a brief cameo in the middle, because the weebs have their hands in everything. Finally, I’m officially suing [[artist:gordian|Gordian]] for stealing this song.

The title comes from the name of a song by Sufjan Stevens, [‘For the Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWb_sK18pgw). When first I heard the song I had no idea that Paradise and Ypsilanti are the names of towns in the US State of Michigan. As such I assumed Ypsilanti was some sort of term that referred to purgatory, corresponding to paradise. And that’s what this track is meant to represent, my idea of what ‘purgatory’ sounds like. Distant echoes in caverns of ice. What does that have to do with Redditstuck, you might ask? You’ll see. - <i>Lazicful:</i> (track artist, booklet commentary) + <i>Lazicful:</i> (booklet commentary) After a lot of artistic consideration I ultimately decided to go with the 2 things that come to mind when I hear stasis and icy cave; stalagmites and bricks, for what is more static than a brick? I also thought to myself, ”what would be a fitting choice of color for such a cool, cold cavern?” Blue! Blue is a very cold color, it all added up! And so I decided to make the image purely consist of blues, to truly convey the isolated feeling of a desolate area with truckloads of “stasis”. The track utilises a lot of, bear with me here it’s going to get a little music theory-y, “echo and reverb”, noises that are supposed to simulate sound hitting distant walls.
