„Wo ein Intro, da ein Outro!"
... Oder so ähnlich ;)
Schon früh hatte ich den Gedanken, das gesamte Album mit einem "Reprisen-Block" abzuschließen. Irgendwann hatte ich dann die Grundmelodie für eben dieses Outro im Kopf. Nach und nach habe ich daraus dann dieses Stück gebaut. Für die "Musiktheoretiker": Das ganze Album ist an vielen Stellen so zusammengesetzt, dass ein Stück in der Tonart endet, wie das nächste beginnt. So auch beim Outro. Der Tonartwechsel im Stück erlaubt es, die CD angenehm in Endlosschleife zu hören. ;)

"Where there is an intro, thou shall have an outro!"
... Or something like that ;)
Early in the thought process of making the album I thought about ending it with a block of Reprises. Somewhen I had an idea for the main "Riff" for this outro. So one after another I added melodies from all around the record to it. And for the "music theorists": Many songs on the album end in the key of the next piece on the album. The same goes for the Outro. The key change in it allows to easily hear the whole record in loop. ;)
