In the Fog, Deep

by Simo Sakari Aaltonen

about

“In the Fog, Deep”, released the same day as another single called “That Dark, Dark Night”, makes for a kind of companion piece to it.

As mentioned also in the liner notes for the other single, in these pieces I got to play around with great freedom and abandon with certain instruments I had always wanted to start writing music for. This piece could never have existed without the inspiring, evocative sounds of the barrel organ and the music box, not to mention the foghorn.

Unlike “That Dark, Dark Night”, which could never have an end — since that dark, dark night never really ends, except for a time or for a particular person — by the time “In the Fog, Deep” is over, we are clearly out of the fog.

Those of you who may have listened to a particular episode of my podcast What Now with Simo — 4.16: “Creative Basics, Visions, and Fog” — will have heard this piece in small fragments, but here the whole thing appears for the first time as a whole.

May we also always find our ways in and then out of fog. Though it can be lovely while it lasts.

—Simo
