One listen.

I’m pretty tired but thought I’d try and do another bit of music writing and I’m not sure I did as well as I could have had I done this earlier in the day. I was going toward describing the sounds but I didn’t go far enough.

Willebrant’s “Sands II (Awakening)” is from Desert Songs.

I hope you enjoy.

Sound grows clear, and rich, perhaps. It stretches long and feels almost cinematic. Parts fade, or rather change, and there’s some sort of freshness to everything.

As the sounds spread forward and out, they seem to look to express an expansiveness. They seem to look to reach for wonder, and they follow curvature and linearity when it spreads outward.

The sounds seem calm, and rather more interested in expressing the gradual rather than the immediate, and they look at things with an optimism and hope, or at least seem to. They come and go, and move, and nothing seems to change but it does, and everything fades out and the song ends.
