One listen. Went in, didn’t think too much about what I was hearing… except for about the mood at times. I think the writing turned out well being less thought about. Covers the song well enough, but still feels vague, but I’m happy with that.

Baraki’s “Whisper-2” is from Colony Laspberry.

I hope you enjoy.

Water moves as waves and soon falls away. A gentle sound plays, seemingly moving back and forth, as though the waves. It starts small and builds, and seems to move away from its beginning whilst keeping that as an anchor. Percussion comes in, light and brisk, and rigid too. And so does something that seems like a voice.

The percussion changes and takes on more shape, and rings out looking forward and cool. It forms rhythms within rhythms, and a melody among voice starts to take shape. The percussion keeps changing, and more sound comes in, filling space, finding moment to add and change the flow.

Percussion reduces, giving the more background elements a moment, then increases and reduces again, and more sound, and the melody expands. It’s as though there’s something wondrous and innocent here, and maybe a little cheeky too. And in it all, the scene expands. The scene fills out.

Percussion is gone. Something floats and curves above, and bass beeps bounce, and a bit of percussion returns and falls away. The bass grows louder, or rather, it steps forward. It moves and it keeps going, and the background seems to shift slightly. The percussion comes back with rapid strikes before once more changing into something precise and rapid, yet slow. Almost groovy.

Other sounds float around, returning to their slot and the percussion fills out once more. This seems climactic now as everything is now here, but it doesn’t become big. It’s not grandiose; it’s not massive, but it feels massive. It feels wondrous.

And gradually sounds pull away, finding their resting point. The percussion fades out, scattered orderly, and soon it’s just that gentle sound finding its own resting point at the song’s end
