The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando was 9 years ago today. In response to that tragedy, we released a song entitled Pulse (the City Beautiful), which was released as a single, and then appeared on our subsequent Turnpike to Jupiter album.
Google's AI responds to the search this way - and it's all correct with the exception of identifying us as an electronic music band - although this track does meet those criteria:
"Pulse (The City Beautiful)" can refer to two things: a song by Zen Fuse Box and a compilation album by Various Artists released in the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. The song is a tribute to the city and a response to the tragedy, while the compilation features local bands and their music, also intended to benefit the victims.
The song was put together using an existing e-bow guitar track by Rich (pilfered from another song, but we don't remember which) which was flipped backwards. Steve then added bass and additional guitars, along with some percussion and effects loops. Pete added some spoken word, which he literally phoned in - the performance is from Steve's voicemail. We ended track with a series of phone ring tones - a haunting reminder of the news reports that police found victims with their cell phones ringing as friends and loved ones were trying to reach them.
We are proud to have donated proceeds from the song's sales to a charity that benefited the families of victims. And we truly hope we never have to compose a piece of music like this again.
