"This House is like a ship" is an experimental/ambient piece using the Wiard 300 series modular plus a Warp Factory Vocoder. Other spoken word parts were processed via Spektral Delay. Apart from reverb and delay plus MXR Pitch transposer on one track the accompaniment is pure Wiard with no midi or keyboards used.

The track is an every day tale of a man that retreats to his house, loses touch with reality and becomes convinced his house is a ship, to the extent he won't even look out of the window to see that it is not the case.

The text is vaguely like:


?


"Sometimes this house is like a ship, and this room seems like a ship's cabin, with the creaking of the timbers and the ebb and flow of light it seems as if I am on some kind of immense sea. I travel forever. I hardly ever look out of the window these days, I know the sea is there...it's just waiting there, immense, impassive and primal. Windblown or becalmed, I travel forever".
