Subtle, slowing swells of breath. Waves of sound. Tides of sound encroaching and receding. Clouds of sound. Skies of sound rich with colors, muddied hues, shifting layers of enveloping overtones.
There is nothing to hold onto in this piece--no consistent rhtyhm, no repeating harmonic progression (although the chords eventually settle into a semi-systematic pattern of movement)--only a long slow wash designed to drown out thought as well as environmental sounds.
