One listen. Went right into this and wrote something I feel is a bit messy and linear. The linearity works as the song is small. It’s minimal in a way.
Principles of Geometry’s “Enoma” is from Burn the Land & Boil the Oceans.
I hope you enjoy.

Gentle hums seem to look inward as they descend further. They seem like they’ll keep going but they find their floor and once they do, percussion and other sounds come in. These other sounds play sad, and one in particular reaches out, wavers above the others.
It’s slow and dreary, and downbeat, and soon more synth comes in and emphasises more melody, and there’s seemingly something happy in here, but it’s faint. It’s fragmented dramatic.
The percussion shifts to something else. Something more driving and strident, and beating, or maybe pulsating is a better way to put it. That wavering synth returns, seemingly mournful, and it continues to call out until much of everything disappears. Bass and a little bit of synth play along still. They are fragile it seems and this is their moment.
Percussion returns with no build, and soon the sounds shift again. A different shape to the beat, sounds calling out, sounds mourning maybe. Sounds possibly dreaming of something else, looking out a window and upon a rain-soaked sky, gradually fading out as they are called away and the song ends.
