Serialising the album Pretentious Incongruity by Key 13 (@keefmarshall)

Pretentious Incongruity: 2020-2024 is a retrospective compilation looking back at some key milestones in the first five years of Key 13 as a recording identity.

Track 14

Why is this on here? Actually I’m not sure. It got chosen for an internet radio show at one point, so someone liked it, and it was in circulation on the sadly missed Radio Free Fedi for a while. But for me, there’s nothing to stand out much. It was written for an /r/songaweek theme of “TV Theme Tune” which I set myself, so I’ve got no-one else to blame.

The title is a made up word, courtesy of the interesting project called Lyre’s Dictionary. This is a computer program that produces plausible sounding English words, with definitions, based on combining word fragments and stems. In this case, the definition was: “the act or state of feeling pain together”, which I thought was a word we really could find some use for.

Influences: Who knows, a thousand electronic musicians.
