More just trying to describe the song and I think here I’ve done a pretty solid job of doing so. At the same time I don’t think this gives a good idea of the song, but that’s not saying much.
Akusmi’s “Concrescence” is from Fleeting Future.
I hope you enjoy.

Percussion hopping and bouncing with a hollowness and soon it is joined by more percussion. These two rhythms are one rhythm and they move alongside each other with some ease. A third percussive set comes in and alters the flow and melody, and then soon a fourth weaves its way in, and a fifth, and soon something that sounds like brass also comes in and it all builds toward some sort of joyous expansion.
More brass and perhaps some bass slide in then away and when that disappears there seemingly is less going on. What plays a slight flick over the percussion, and soon bass comes in, throbbing and seemingly celebration begins to come forward. It’s there in all the vibrancy but it seemingly is not willing to really break forward, and that’s fine because this is almost like memories of it, flickering by.
Bits of sound here and there slide through the gathering, then come forward. They draw long and smooth and seem to indicate a direction of gliding, and all starts growing quiet not long after. It all fades away, or at least most of it, and it grows quiet and the song ends.
