Birds gone crazy!

What is this "analog synthesis" you speak of?

Tread Carefully, This Place Wants To Kill You

Life is continually changing. Whether travelling through time or distance, life takes on a different form at every turn. It can be beautiful, frightening, and even a bit disgusting. But it is always awe inspiring; even in the roughest conditions, life finds a way to survive.

Listen in a quiet, dark environment through quality speakers or headphones for the best experience.

Special thanks to Maria Romero for her beautiful violin playing.

Life (feat. Maria Romero)

Cities are constantly moving. Cars honk in the streets, trains screech under the roads, planes roar through the sky between towering trees of concrete and glass. Construction workers hammer at buildings and shipbuilders clang and crash against hollow metal hulls with rhythmic precision, while the seagulls, pigeons, and humans struggle to be heard over the relentless voice of the city. There is no escape from the humdrum. It just digs deeper and deeper into the skin until it becomes unbearable.

This track reflects my personal experience of living in a city; the sounds and rhythms are fascinating at first but they eventually become unbearable, to the point where I need to take a trip away form the city, into the mountains where it is quiet. Unfortunately, like in the piece, the silence is short lived and is experienced only as a ringing in the ears before the city returns once again.

Listen in a dark room through large speakers for the best experience. The ending is intentionally distorted.
