Ataraxis is the state in which one feels a sense of serene calmness. I was sitting in dead-still traffic on the 210 one day and was frustrated by the fact that I was spending more time in my car than I was writing music. So I took out my phone (yes, I was using my phone and driving but it was for the sake of art so sue me) and started singing out all the parts in this chart. I started with the guitar riff in the beginning and then developed a bass line. Then I very (and I mean very) roughly sang the A and B section. As soon as I got home, I transcribed everything that I sang and that's what ended up on the chart. I feel that oftentimes I get frustrated with my perceived lack of time but through Ataraxis I realized that it's important to utilize even the most mundane parts of your day.
