This was written in one go, and it sort of functions on loops and I found that interesting. I don’t always, but here I did and I don’t know why. Didn’t come through in the writing, but I do feel I captured an idea of the song well.

Mr. Soon’s “Ventana” is from Places in Arizona.

I hope you enjoy.

A few drifts of sound descend, bright, muted, peaceful. Low, looking forward. Then the beat comes in and it’s steady. Sort of has space; it has a stride and that stride is nice and easy. And the beat feels out some more, and now it’s a bit busier. Everything is peaceful and the beat is busier, but it’s light. There’s still space, and now it continues on and some more percussion comes in, sort of as a pitter-patter. The earlier sound has fallen away and it’s just the percussion, and then that leaves.

A new form and percussion is back in similar, yet different form. Low synth sounds sort of bob up here and there but remain low, and maybe it’s actually some other percussion. Maybe both; it’s difficult to tell. A voice sampled moves along with it and the percussion disappears, as well as the voice, and these remaining sounds are left there to keep going until they, too, stop.

Then it’s back to the start, sort of. That original drifts of sound are there; the pitter-patter percussion remains, and all is gentle. All is peaceful, and then it’s just the drifts and something else. Things lurking at the edges, or rather wafting around, and then the last sound and the song ends.
