about

I have no recollection of writing this. Literally, none. On an expedition through my collection of old musical notation, I came across the piece written down carefully, in mid-May 1999. Apart from a somewhat laconic diary entry that day, saying "wrote some guitar music", I've no record whatsoever of the process, or what ideas might have been in my head at the time. I can only assume that I'm playing it with the tempo and rhythm I originally intended. Still, never mind; life goes on. A few little tweaks, and a title, and it became a fully-fledged instrumental.

The opening bar is reminiscent of John Renbourn's "The South Wind". It has a similar three-part major-minor-major structure to "Slightly Longer Tune". The middle section faintly recalls another of my tunes (that I haven't recorded yet), coincidentally titled "The Son Of The Sea".

Aside from all that, "The Sea Remembers Nothing" is a complete mystery, a tabula rasa upon which any interpretation may be drawn, so as well as eponymously rounding-off the album, its title is, I suppose, quite apt.
C-G-C-G-C-D.
