THIS IS THE VERY LAST MUSIC TRACK PHIL WORKED ON BEFORE HIS DEATH! **UPDATE: OCT-15-2024** I was working on this track with Phil up until one day before he died on Monday, February 4, 2019. It was late 2018 when Phil played for me this unfinished track at his studio. I fell in love with it immediately. Then Phil asked me for extra synth layers to add on and make this track more distinguishable transitionally in the movements between each arrangement-block. Fast forward to Sunday, February 3. 2019, at Phil’s studio — the evening before his departure to Berlin the following day. The stems of mine extra synth layers were added to this track’s DAW session. Oh my did ever Dream Death sound so full, so beautiful. A work of art! “It’s a sequel to Truth” [Worlds End] Phil hinted. We couldn’t finalize track in time that night. It was getting late. Phil had to get ready for his trip to Berlin. And, “We’ll finish it when I get back.” We then drove to Commercial Drive; had Pho for dinner; dropped him home afterwards; and said “Love you brother!” to each other. I watched Phil walk away from my car to the door around the side of his dwelling. I drove away. And that was that last time I saw him alive! Phil left us less than 24 hours later. ---------- Phil Western: Composition, Programming, Drum Programming, Synths, Keyboards, Guitars, Bass, Vocals.
