History (John Kaizan Neptune):

This is the fourth in a series of tunes that includes 'West of Somewhere', 'South of Someplace' and 'East of Everywhere' whose nonsensical titles, says Neptune, "point out the impossibility of classifying my music which draws on music and instruments from around the world." Here, a major scale with a sharp fourth and a flat seventh is used, although within it, the melody is allowed to "wander freely" where it pleases.
