A Note from Justin:
Restless Leg. Is that a thing? I’ve heard it somewhere in my travels. And travel is what this piece is all about.
 
The excitement of knowing the day is approaching. The movement of a busy airport. Delays, queues, unexpected stopovers.
 
Travel is a form of education. The world is big, as it is small. Things are different, as they are similar.
 
This piece captures the energy, frustration and momentum of travel through sound.
