Another track from Locked In The System, I wasn’t entirely happy with the mix in this one to be honest.

So what’s up with the title of this one?

Really I kept having one person or another tell me they downloaded this cool app, or video, or banging on about some kind of social media “thingy” (I’m not really a social media type of person). But these same people didn’t have a clue what was occurring in the real world around them, being so wrapped up in their phone/tablet/whatever.

And then you have the conspiracy theory types, who believe whatever rubbish is on YouTube without a concept of quality control; I’ve heard everything here - the sun isn’t really there, the earth is flat, some politician is computer generated or a robot, cavemen didn’t exist - my response to that one was “yes they do, I’ve seen them on the telly, they make the cars move with their feet!” (if you can’t beat ‘em... lol).

I had one guy in particular who kept banging on about these kind of things every day, so I ended up telling him that he should try living a little and downloading reality, hence the song title.

Am I being one of those anti-technology hippie guys?

Not particularly, I’ve used computers and technology all my life, and I’ve been using the internet since about 1993, so it’s not like I’m a newbie or anything.

Personally, I find the real world far more interesting than the virtual world, not that both can’t exist together, it’s just that there is a whole load of real stuff out there to get involved with that doesn’t have an app or a YouTube video.

Technology is there to augment our lives as far as I’m concern, but I know people who let it control their action far too much!

Anyway, this track is basically just saying “get a grip”, because not everything has to be downloaded as an app. All made with electronic instruments of course =P

More about Skaarl:

All types of music appeal to me, particularly the more relaxed genres - chillout, ambient, downtempo, trip hop, jazz, latin, IDM, etc. Usually I will create downtempo electronic tracks, although I go through phases where it gets a bit more upbeat, just whatever I happen to be feeling at the time.

Back after taking time away from releasing music whilst at university. Currently working on several forthcoming releases as well as playing double bass as a session musician.
