about

On Sonar's 2nd album Static Motion, there's a piece called “Twofold Covering.” The basic idea of that piece is that the guitar and the bass guitar play exactly the same pattern in 11, but in such a way that the bass pattern is one octave lower and half as fast the guitar pattern. In mathematics, you could say that the guitar pattern is a double or twofold covering of the bass pattern, hence the title. For “Radiant Day” I used the same idea, except now in 13 (The same idea was also used in 9/8 on "Briefing for a Descent into Hell"). Markus is credited as co-composer of this piece because of the many melodies and melodic patterns (often inspired by Mike Oldfield's music) that he provided. The main riff of this piece was later also used as the foundation of a Sonar piece called "Red Shift".
