One listen for this one.

I was listening to Gore Tech today. I think it’s been a while since I last did, decided to today, then decided to write about the second song on this EP. Going to do the third shortly.

Anyway, when I started on this song I just wanted to capture it in some manner. I wasn’t sure which direction to go in or what would emerge, and even though I’ve heard it a few times I didn’t recognise it, so I felt a bit thrown off. I think that worked but I can’t help but wonder if what I wrote could’ve been better had I some more familiarity with the song.

Gore Tech’s “Part II – Palaeotronics” is from Pulse Tundra.

I hope you enjoy.

Muffled in a way but also clear, a sound moves with a harmonious dotting. Soon something a little harsher joins it and creates unease, but it is little, and eventually percussion comes in with strings, or at least a sense of strings and they all follow that original sound which seems to warp or disappear, but it is still there.

More sound fills in and it seems almost nostalgic for memory that doesn’t exist. There remains unease but it’s at the edges and throughout, lurking. A stretch into more presence and the echoes off the percussion remain short, and that melancholia is there, but the unease perpetuates and dread creeps in. Dread is there in all the peace and drama and details grow clear.

Some sounds disappear and it all seems to imply a fading but the percussion has grown more lively as it rings out into an empty space. A short ringing and it rings out, and then silence and the song ends.
