about

“Let’s write a Latin-inspired song, learn some of it backwards, add some sub-bass, warped marimbas and loon calls and see what happens.” This is exactly how Lo Oa Soa, Lunar Path’s second composition, came to be. Well, maybe not in those exact words…

Beginning with a Latin beat, vocals were added, resulting in quite a conventional song. Then, the entire thing was torn apart, played in reverse and snatches of the backwards melody were learned and then sung and recorded. During this process, the phrase Lo Oa Soa floated to the surface; typing it into a translator app revealed that it means “you are dead” in Sesotho. This appealed to our gothic souls! This in turn dictated the rest of our compositional decision-making processes.
