One listen and I went in just trying to describe the song, which I think I did well in parts and no so well in others. There’s a lot that you could pull from this song and I went for probably the most straightforward thing and that’s fine.

After writing about all the songs on this album I think it’s pleasant. It also is incredibly reliant on some techniques as though it needed a crutch. I want to check out Akusmi again, though I’m concerned it will be more of the same. Enjoyable stuff, though also quite visible in shortcomings.

Akusmi’s “Yurikamome” is from Fleeting Future.

I hope you enjoy.

Pulsing brightness pulsing away. Simple, light but not airy. Seems to extend into itself, but only slightly. Grows louder and something else is revealed slightly underneath. Becomes muted and other keys come forward.

Percussion is there, gentle and quiet, and everything else in the background seems to flow in a rush, but it’s not just background; it’s all around.

A beam of bass and woodwind form on through, filling everything without overtaking, then disappear. It comes back but as a lingering thinness, despite its thickness. Then it disappears again, and returns once more. It does not stop. Bass draws long and saxophone takes a precise movement. A voice is heard somewhere and the percussion becomes more striking, livelier and it grows in volume, as does bass.

Woodwind wails and underscores and there is a gentle rush of sound. It is moving; it is growing into something. It does not weave but it aligns and layers upon itself, and it remains static in parts and changing in others. Sounds start disappearing and the sound shrinks, but some come back as others fade, and what remains finds a final note to close on as the song ends.
