One listen and I think I fudged it a bit.
This gives an idea of the song but what I wrote is really limited. There was plenty of room to drift off into imagery and I didn’t go for it which is a shame as it would’ve made for much better writing.
BLKSMIITH’s “Satellite From Days Of Old, Lead Me To Your Access Code” is from 「DIGITAL TWIN」.
I hope you enjoy.

Saxophone flutters and slides over a morphing beat and soft synth. There is a calm that remains once the beat takes over in full.
The beat is rapid and flickers, and it is there and aggressive, but it also is calm. It seems to keep changing and shifting without losing its sense of self or control. For a moment it drops out and leaves the synth and sax and its a moment of greater calm, perhaps, but then it comes in and it pulses away with the synth.
The beat pulls back to something just as steady but less consuming whilst the sax changes itself to something familiar further along, as does the synth. It does not last too long, however, and the main patterns are soon returned to and all that aggressive calm also comes back.
Once more the beat changes for a moment, becoming more staccato in form, but once more for only a brief moment before it continues on, but only for a brief moment once more as it stops, leaving the sax and synth to close at the song’s end.
