In 2020, Autarkh's David Luiten had been working on a solo project called Inner, in which he was searching for ways to let oscilloscope visuals react to different layers of the music he had written. It eventually became a trilogy with a very exciting tension span and intricate harmonies; material that ignited Michel Nienhuis's artistic flame and led to a debate about possible reintepretations in the context of Autarkh or Autarkh III.
The remarkable guitar theme became part of Autarkh III's Lost In Sight, a reintepretation of the Autarkh song Lost To Sight as it can be heard on the album Form In Motion. It was decided to use Part II in its entirety on the Autarkh album Emergent, which yielded the song Strife. Nienhuis had also been debating the possibility of using a choir as an intermezzo on Emergent. Luiten proceeded to reintepret the otherwordly ascending and descending guitar parts of Part III as a vocal harmony, which landed on Emergent in the form of Aperture.
Michel Nienhuis used to be part of the band Our Oceans. Our Oceans released a self-titled album in 2015 and a sophomore album in 2020 called While Time Dissapears. Around 2017, drummer Yuma van Eekelen came up with different variations of an up-tempo and uplifting beat for a new song. Nienhuis wrote harmony and melody for it, and Yuma tied a chord progression together with a synthesizer arrangement. The type of harmony and melody turned out to be unsuitable for the Our Oceans context; frontman and composer Tymon Kruidenier rewrote the song that is now known as Face Them on the album While Time Dissapears.
While searching for existing ideas to reinterpet for the second Autarkh album Emergent, Nienhuis came across the original instrumental demo for Face Them (back then called Twix Ohma) and reinterpreted it in the Autarkh context. If you compare both outcomes you might notice the similarity in tempo, beat and vibe. The original harmony, melody, and van Eekelen's synth arrangement became part of the Autarkh song now known as Eye Of Horus.
