Another one listen.

I think I’m going to end up writing about the whole album this is from which might not be the best of things, or maybe it will be. In any event, this one mostly came easy but toward the end I got pretty stuck which led to writing I feel is not representative enough of the song.

Common note patterns are used often for reasons and it’s always good when there’s some sort of playing around with them, but more often than not I find them to be fucking banal. People say everything has been done and all that but there’s always more that can be done. There’s so much to explore and work with and on this particular bit of music it’s disappointing that Akusmi decided to do a little dipping of the toes into the deep end here and there but then fucked right off out of the water.

Akusmi’s “Divine Moments of Truth” is from Fleeting Future.

I hope you enjoy.

Rhythmic the early instrumentation moves, and perhaps in a “short” manner. Guitar comes in and layers over the rhythm, and a pitter-patter appears underneath and alongside. In the distance sound stretches out but close up more instrumentation appears, and when bass finally appears the structure is given a more apparent form.

More instrumentation here and there, beeping and squeaking, and it builds and builds until some of it pulls away and the firmly familiar finds itself revealed.

Counter sounds and electronic buzzes cannot hide nor do much about where this song lies and so it follows a path mostly warn down. Still, other elements here and there keep the sounds moving through this gentle rendition and the implied weight looms over all, and it continues as such, occasionally straying from this path only to return as though uncomfortable venturing away, and eventually the sounds pull away and fade as the song ends.
