Songs > Infinite Rise > History


“Infinite Rise” is an upbeat ten-minute-and ten-second long track featuring a long string of rhyming but disconnected lyrics and a ton of sound effects. The song utilizes a Shepard tone throughout, an auditory illusion created by playing a number of ascending or descending tones with volume cut offs the higher/lower in pitch they get. In effect the tone seems like it is constantly ascending or descending in an “infinite rise.” It also features a rising bassline during the refrains. It’s the only song from Quarters! to be entirely recorded by Stu and the only one done entirely at the band’s cabin in Hunter Mountain, New York. Recorded on May 29th, 2014, it was released a year later on May 1st, 2015 as the second track on Quarters! and is represented on the cover with a dragon within red and yellow waves with various representations of the lyrics and sound effects. It is also referenced in the music video for “The River.”

Based on available data, “Infinite Rise” has never been played live.
