cross-field

Roadmaps on the palms
Braided, fold over
Where the shore meets the ebbing sea
Forever touching, forever adrift

Whispers of the history fade
Where the sea drapes waning waves
Only to retrace echoing trails
Abiding in ceaseless rims

Rooted in the fertile soil of hauntology, Amulet of Tears presents: 'Before We Melt into the Sea' - chimerical shreds of memoir.  Foraying intervals coiled in visceral resonance, which appear as abyssal, ancestral echoes of elusive moments, where the past unfolds in attendance, like a vapor that forbids to fade.

Phantoms colliding to forge ahead for what’s to come or to drag us back into the shades of what we once were - enshadowed by imprints of past, present, and future, overlapped upon one another.

Before We Melt into the Sea

It's the first sunday of November and this is the 122nd Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. Where entering longer nights and shorter days. Cold weather, rainy days. BODYXVII takes you into that more dark spectrum of atmospheric ambient music. For this time of year. It can be described as melancholic, distant memories, fading images, darker places and so on but always with a touch of light.

Ambient Sessions # 122 - BODYXVII

Upon the arc of constellations: 
Tensed between bodies
Dance between our fingers 
Ember, that lingers

Already innate—

Abides what dwells, mesh of our hands 
Brush softly the wheels of what it craves

Beneath the tremors of unseen tides 
Burns with the heat of dust and rush

Aloft in the quiet rhythm of luminaries, through the metaphysical: echoes waltz beneath the currents and between darkened domes. A weightless rhythm carried slow, where horizon loosens its hold upon the threshold for it is out of reach.

Based in Texas, USA, Field Designer is the creative force behind Language Instinct & Glacial Anatomy. Ventures across the essence of tension-elements like: the raw, unpredictable nature of distortion within serenity and intensity, that is both expansive and constrained.
