Constellated from Unification by Greg Duncan

Coltrane-esque song that weaves between 3/4 & 5/4 time. Starts slow but increases speed. Heavy climax.Constellated shifts between slow 3/4 time and a fast frenetic 5/4 groove. Jung coined the term “constellated” referring to a behavior that follows a reaction to a particular psychological stimulus. In this song, a ii-V sequence initiates different changes in the song and represents when a particular behavior or attitude is “constellated”.
