> I love early autumn with its bright colours and brisk sunny days, but when
> the leaves turn brown and the rains begin - well, I just can't stand it.
> Watching the life be slowly drained out of everything always brings me
> down way too heavily, and what's worse, the depression seems to strike me
> earlier and more painfully each year. There's supposed to be more light
> than in the winter, but it's not real, decent light - the disgustingly
> thick and grey cloud layer absorbs all the light out of the sun's rays,
> leaving nothing but a gloomy non-light, a mere absence of darkness. Once
> the autumn depression gets a hold of me, my consumption of sugar and
> alcohol goes soaring up, and there's no hope of getting anything done
> until first snow.
>
> The worst thing about autumn depression is that there's no cure: red wine,
> chocolate and sad music can take away the symptoms for a while, but if you
> want to get rid of the disease, there's nothing you can do, save pray for
> an early winter. For whereas autumn is death, winter is protection; it
> casts its pure white veil over the land to shelter it from the piercing
> cold and to help it survive till the warm spring sun signals the beginning
> of a new cycle of birth and growth. Though it's cold and dark, there's
> hope of another spring and summer in every glistening snow-clad tree and
> every star in the clear night sky.

> (OK, OK! I promise I'll skip the poetry next time!)

> With warmth and friendship to Anna the autumn-lover - I don't even pretend
> to understand how you manage to actually like that horrid season, but I
> sure as heck wish I could learn it too...
>
> Well, now it's really finished at last! I didn't expect it to take this
> long, but I had another one of those awkward periods when you can't get
> yourself to do a goddamn thing even though there's a million things you
> ought to. I sincerely don't know if I'd ever have completed this project
> if it weren't for the acquisition of some yummy new gear in March 2000; I
> replaced several samples with better ones obtained from my new favourite
> toy, the Roland JV-1010 synth module. For some reason, though, I was
> completely unable to produce decent piano samples - thanks to Mr. Eassa
> for the ones I've used - and I also couldn't get the loop on the EG sample
> quite right. Well, you have to draw a line somewhere, and frankly I'm
> getting pretty fed up with this bugger hanging around unfinished and
> unreleased on my drive, so here you have it. Maybe I'll work up an mp3
> version some day with real flute and stuff.
>
> The somewhat "raw" version released at Elevator 3 actually ended up on 7th
> place in the multichannel compo - frankly, I was pretty surprised, since I
> didn't expect anyone but the jury would ever even hear it. Special
> greetings to Humppa-Ake, Keskitalo, Juippi, Wayout, Jokke + Titti M. and
> very special thanks to all who voted for me. I would also like to thank
> Novus and Mr. Blue for sharing their thoughts on the compo version while I
> was working on the final release.
