Tim Hecker: Seasick III
Alright, so I’m not sure what I was going to do with this one. I kind of went “impressionistic” and didn’t really capture much of the song. Also I may have been too vague with what I wrote. Tim Hecker’s … Continue reading

Envy: A Breath Clad in Happiness
One listen but a couple of restarts. I think I was looking to describe the song and leave it at that and I’m not quite sure as to what happened. This one I did as, to me, it seems like … Continue reading

Envy: A Hint and the Incapacity
This was mostly done due to my feeling well enough at the moment to be productive. Was the result worth the effort? Probably not. Still, I sort of captured what happens in the song. Probably could’ve used more words and … Continue reading

Once more I wrote quickly. Not sure what I was trying to capture with this one, but I feel I did alright in terms of describing what happens during the song. It sort of feels like the second part of … Continue reading

Yoshitaka Hirota: Prelude~ ~ Advertise I
This was written over one listen. I wrote quickly and tried to capture a sense of the otherwordliness that the song sort of gets across, but I don’t think I did a good job. Yoshitaka Hirota’s (弘田佳孝) “Prelude~ ~ Advertise … Continue reading

2814: Guided By Love
One listen for this one. I think I had something going on at the start but I pulled away. There was a period where I stopped as I was trying to work out what it was that I was writing … Continue reading
Dirge: Alma
One listen for this one. I kind of took my time and didn’t try to focus on one particular thing. I could’ve written a lot more, but I didn’t and instead wrote slowly, which I feel worked better here. Dirge’s … Continue reading
