Akusmi: Fleeting Future

One listen and a lot of it came easy.
I’m not sure why but it just did. Not a great writing but I feel it works well enough. There’s a sense of the song here and the words keep moving with it in a sense. I do feel this would be better if I didn’t start getting into critical mode, but otherwise I think this is fine.

Akusmi’s “Fleeting Future” is from Fleeting Future.

I hope you enjoy.

Seemingly bouncing out a rhythm, a sound, possibly a woodwind jauntily plays out. Something in the background appears and sort of enhances it, and then there’s more build. The space is being filled with a light step, and sort of a fluttering of sorts.

There’s a joyous sense to it all… at least thus far.

More details come in and with that more a sense of liveliness. The sounds are congregating and as they do they create form and direction, and it’s all tight and in a sense calculated but it doesn’t feel rigid. There’s a nice sense of play going on.

A slight low dip of sorts as new sounds dance their way into view. A space is made in the group for them to come in and as they do the lightness is kept, but now a sense of the emotively dramatic also comes in. More building and bass, or at least something bass-like underscores whilst a melancholic woodwind reaches out. Maybe it’s not melancholic but rather reaching into an uncertainty and looking to expand outward whilst expressing the grandness and beauty of the land. It seems to rush and it feels a bit like a loss and a cheapening of what came before, but it’s nice. It’s an easy reach but it’s nice.

The sounds seemingly build without building and all flows along. All carries upon it that growing intensity and it was building, but it releases through stopping; it suddenly dissipates and leaves some sounds to linger in the stillness. They float and drift away, and all grows quiet as the song ends.
