"how do you wait for heaven?" (26:40)
this long-form sound collage is the album's centerpiece, providing a sprawling, introspective journey through various ambient soundscapes, including field recordings, delicate piano notes, and lush, reverbed choirs (it's just me lol) as well as heavily distorted iterations of the vocal elements as the track progresses towards a fuller and more distorted space.
"with the charging sky above and a ground that could swallow every one of us" (06:56)
soaring, expansive sounds and deep, grounding sub bass characterize a line of looping vocals immersed with the pure feeling of awe and peril through this aural territory.
"energy lessons" (10:08)
the main rhythmic element of this song is from a sampled orchestra with a notable melody circulating from a violin. in a similar motion to energy flowing through a conductive wire, these strings transmit the sensation of completely experiencing the shocks of internal energy.
"on nature, contemplation, and the one" (08:00)
this song provides a meditative, tranquil, and serene cleansing of the mind for those who can achieve silence with electrified elements like rain shrilled to static and a chanting, repeating vocal loop blended with murky ambient layers. it's a smooth ride :)
"this is what it was, what it is now, and what it will be" (06:19)
on the closing track, the album's themes are summarized, and gives space for the listener to reflect on the passage of time and the continuity of personal and universal emotional experience. a blend of retrospective and forward-looking sounds composed by droning guitar (i used to play way more haha) and fresh field recording samples (from sitting on my porch this last sunday night :D !!) create a distorted cohesion to concretize the end of the album.
