TAHUL, meaning "change" in Arabic, is a multifaceted take on metamorphosis. On one level, the track is representative of a forward progression in music, from using the standard yet arbitrary 12-tone equal temperament, which has been the most common tuning system in Western music for the past few hundred years, to using a tuning system based on the DNA repair frequency (528Hz) as well as the numerical roots of the natural world - the golden ratio & Fibonacci sequence. On another level, the track attempts to capture the experience of profound change sweeping through one's life. The track features a rolling, growling bassline, symbolic of the intense forward motion of journeying through time, then breaks down to a minimal saturated 808 section conjuring the movement into a time of instability and tension. Finally, the track climaxes with a heavy, hypnotic drop evoking the explosive transition out of crisis and onto the plane of growth and forward momentum in a positive direction.
