One listen.

Writing this one felt like a block, or more accurately, a fatigue lifting. Or maybe I pushed past it. I don’t know. I don’t think the writing is good. I think I got stuck. However, I still captured a sense of what goes on in the song.

Zuntata’s “Dada” is from G-Darius‘ soundtrack, G-Darius Original Arcade Score.

I hope you enjoy.

Ethereal, almost spectral sounds along with an echoing breathing. These sounds are moving through silence, and voices seem to come out and haunt, along with strings. The sounds intensify, then pull back.

A hard strike of percussion here and there, keeping things steady as the sounds drift and elegantly move. Voice warps, eventually disappears. More percussion, echoing, then those voices pick up, haunting the space.

Sounds come together, start forming the whole picture. They move with an otherworldly feel. A stillness, drifting, floating there, coming from somewhere else, unfamiliar, yet specifically from experience. Specifically human, grounded and here and present.

A return to the start, carrying all that came before as a memory. Turning to the minimal, reinforcing  by maintaining familiarity. An understanding of the pattern as the sounds repeat memory, even if recent.

Sound forms structure and structure maintains sound. Everything carries on, intensifying, receding and softening. Everything drifts, floats with purpose, moves smoothly and roughly at the same time. Carries peace and carries danger, carries the moods until the final sound stops and the song ends.
