Ksenia Fedorova: Wave VII
I wanted to write about a song but I didn’t want to do an artist I was too familiar with so I looked for one I hadn’t spent much time listening to, and I’m not sure if it worked out. … Continue reading

Jesu: Pity / Piety
I wrote the draft roughly a week-and-a-half ago over one listen, mostly to see if I could. I’m fairly certain I paused a few times here and there just to give me time to work out what I was trying … Continue reading

Principles of Geometry: Ize
One listen for this one and it felt like it went by slowly. I tried to stick to just describing the song and I think I succeeded with that. I didn’t go in with the idea of focusing on just … Continue reading

Envy: Zero
This was written over one listen but there were quite a few restarts early on. I was struggling to get the first few seconds down and that probably would’ve been easier to do had I listened to the song a … Continue reading

Peter Gabriel: Fourteen Black Paintings
This was slowly written over three listens. I was aiming to avoid imagery (I think) and I mostly succeeded. Still, this doesn’t say too much about the song, though maybe that’s okay. I hope you enjoy. — Woodwind comes in, … Continue reading
