The More I Know... The Less I Care

Obstinance and apathy: when the quest for knowledge and truth has soured reality.

Reminds me a lot of 70s Genesis. Pretty amazing song really, not sure why no one commented yet!

Liked the tempo change at 0:55. For me the arrangement is generally too busy with too many elements which all seem to be competing rather than complimenting. Interesting title, "the more I know, the less I care" Whats the thinking behind that?

Thank you for the feedback everyone!

For me the arrangement is generally too busy with too many elements which all seem to be competing rather than complimenting.

Frenetic textures seem to have become part of my signature sound. That said, I do like for all the individual parts to groove together by rowing the boat in the same direction.



For this track, the background parts were well established and jamming away before I added the foreground melody part at the very end. When I have some extra time, I may revisit the track to see if I can tone down the energy in some of the busier moments to allow individual parts to shine through and have a moment in the spotlight.

Interesting title, "the more I know, the less I care" Whats the thinking behind that?

It's a sardonic twist on an old NBC quote.

Folks may interpret it whatever way they want.

As for me, there have been times when I thought I really wanted to know the truth,


but the path to finding the truth, along with the actual truth itself, left a bitter taste in my mouth, or left me feeling over-/under-whelmed.


Also, as I have gotten longer in the tooth, I have become more selective about where my focus goes.


Thanks again for listening!
