One listen.

With this I put fragments down without trying to expand upon them. I feel like what I wrote feels like things going past quickly, but it’s not quite that. Anyway.

David Wise’s “Aquatic Ambience” is from Donkey Kong Country‘s soundtrack, DK Jamz: The Original Donkey Kong Country Soundtrack. It is also featured on Super Donkey Kong Original Sound Version as “WATER MUSIC”.

I hope you enjoy.

Sounds move slow, moving, moving along, drifting under pressure, peaceful, urging in a way. Urging peacefully. Floating in and out of range, pulsing. Muffled and clear.

A change, though the melody remains the same. More beeps, more pulses, more moments held within a small frame of time.

Percussion is light, gentle. It’s just enough to push things forward. More sound along with it, adding layers of melody. Questions, wondering, answers. Majesty of a grand space unable to be appreciated. Fragments of the slowness of underwater, and how quick it is.

Seemingly the sounds become more urging, more pressing and pushing along. A weight to them, a rushed beauty. A peace in darkness until they all fade and the song ends.
