From the promotional literature:
Change Comes Knocking is a fascinating and tumultuous story of a bi-racial anti poverty organization called the North Carolina Fund (NCF) that boldly confronted the explosive issues of race, class and politics during the turbulent 1960's in an attempt to stop the "Cycle of Poverty."
I collaborated with my friend and musical director Daryl White for the film's music, contributing a few of my own compositions as well as working on several pieces together. I wrote this particular piece, and it was used as the background for footage of civil rights-era protests in Durham. It was meant to be a mixture of roots (lap slide guitar) and modern (CR78 drum machine). When remixing it, I added a clanging, generative Moog loop as well as some treated mellotron strings to give it an epic and off-kilter Kung Fu soundtrack flavor and to keep the piece evolving.
Check out the documentary--it's a fascinating story.
