One listen and I felt I was a bit more loose than with the prior one, and I think that’s good. At the same time, I can see where I was grasping for anything and I don’t think that’s good, though it is much less than I have in some other recent writings.

Patrick Sansone’s “Phosphenes” is from Infinity Mirrors.

I hope you enjoy.

Low hum, pulsing, sending a signal. Keys step up around it and other hums appear here and there, fading in and out. Slow and gradual this is, showing various shapes, or rather, glimpses of them, and in the space a rumble is heard whilst the space between hums lets the memory of sound linger.

Something a little harsher appears and disappears; like the hums, it’s only a glimpse. The keys increase in frequency, stepping around the low hum. Some hums draw longer, possibly calling out  to something. Rising and falling, and eventually the low hum deepens and becomes fuller. Seems to become unstoppable, so to speak. It grows bright though remains low. At one point it seems to rise; to lift its body before lowering once more, then rising and lowering, or perhaps filling and emptying.

The sounds around it change and seem to grow. They gather and grow, and seem to rise toward a focused point. They are static but they are moving, rising, pushing higher and higher, filling out yet wholly minimal, and eventually they fade away and the song ends.
