Stable - Hypoxic Grand Mal Seizure (V04)

Just before Xmas 2019 I suffered a hypoxic grand mal seizure and nearly died. It was brought on by unintentionally inhaling poisonous paint fumes and exacerbated by my asthma.

For the first 33 minutes this track attempts to convey the growing feeling of fighting for air, having lungs refusing to work, extreme compression growing in the chest and head and having eyesight distorting and fading in and out. It continues to the point of unconsciousness, or where my memory of the event stops and from around 33:30 the track is an attempt to relate the hazy and disconnected feeling of regaining consciousness in the intensive care unit, which felt like moments later for me but was 2 days later in real time.

Digital available via Bandcamp.

Composed, performed and recorded by Andy Brown, Glasgow spring 2020.
