Current mood:  luminous
These videos, as simplistic as they may seem, are about a number of things. Most importantly is the "remember to not see through the beauty" manifesto. But there are other facets.
Loneliness. Nature. Electronics becoming organic, or electronics becoming mood. Negative space. Patience, and the subtle changes of light, shadow, and color.
In this case, it was a side trip on a lonely Saturday night before a visit to the grocery store. Near the river, near Sylvan Island, in the remains of the industrial age lay this sort of Stonehenge created long ago to worship machines that turned over earth. It's now a wasteland being reclaimed by prairie weeds and small animals.
The music was written around a single, lush, slowly looping string chord. The surrounding music weaves around this chord organically leaving lots of open spaces, with waves of soft rain and wind field recordings binding it together.
Instruments: Strings & French Horns (Roland Edirol Orchestral), processed Hammond Organ, Electric Piano, Synthesizers (Native Instruments Massive, Spectrasonics Atmosphere), drums
