Tim Larkin: Air Stream

One listen and it felt quick, and I struggled a bit, but that’s okay.
Need to stop drawing out these sentences.

I heard the song last night and decided to do it, but I don’t think I was loose enough to write about it, if that makes sense.

Tim Larkin’s “Air Stream” is from Uru: Ages Beyond Myst (Original Game Soundtrack), the soundtrack for Uru: Ages Beyond Myst.

I hope you enjoy.

Guitar plays with in specific notes, and another with a twang, and they seem to play into an open space. A rattling of shuffling noise here and there, and more guitar seems to play over what is happening, and it seems to play specific notes to fill out sound.

A bit of bass here and there, and the space fills but it remains spacious. There’s a very specific and precise melody coming forward, and there’s a bit of the melancholic coming in too.

There’s some beauty here, and perhaps some wonderment, but it’s all on a small scale. Dusty, wide, expansive, empty, but filled and small, and maybe tiny too. And in all of that, these sounds slightly change and add and grow, and they stick to the pace, and something akin to woodwind drifts in and calls out. It stretches along lines, and then disappears, and the other sounds start fading and the song ends.
