disquiet0350 - Selected Insomniac Works by Supple.Be.Disquiet.Junto

This week's challenge:

"It’s the middle of the night, long past dusk and long before dawn. You can’t sleep. Think about what kind of music you’d want to hear right now."

Unfortunately, this scenario is very real for me recently. It tends to make me very emotional sometimes, like I can't take anything because I'm just so tired. Musically, that translates into binge-listening Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky or Isis albums. This piece just accidentally happened today. I was absently plucking away at my bass guitar and suddenly something almost made me cry. I don't know if it's because I'm not very stable right now or if the music is truly moving, but this is what insomnia feels like to me. For added atmosphere, picture, if you will, a marquee at a festival, just after sunset. Red lights, lots of smoke, and a guitar player starting the show with an ebow.
