A single line
On the snowy plain

If I Could Store Time In A Bottle Of Syrup (naviarhaiku351)

2020: depression personified.

Lyrics:
Fear stokes the pyre
Black smoke and ire
preordained, a cacophonic stain
Long heavy rain
Wont clear this away (make this abstain)
Feeling this decay, always
(its) suffocating, intoxicating

Deep smoke and ire 
Cursed is (be) this fire
Preordained, a cold coffin remains
Long heavy rain
Won't change a thing(nothing)
Emptiness, betrayal, always
It's suffocating
Please erase me

Pyre

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think about how a gradient functions, as one thing transitions into another.

Step 2: Make a short piece of music that aims to explore the idea of a gradient in sound.

As mentioned on a previous junto, lately, when I have time, I’m recycling old masters I got back this summer from a publisher deal, I have dozens of 10 or 15 years old tracks to re-listen, re-work and release or use at will.
For this junto I decided to do a gradient between two old tracks: one completely electronic (synths and treatments) and one acoustic (live in the studio performance with actual musicians and instruments)
It starts with the electro-drone song , and instead of just crossfading volumes between tracks I decided to make my own interpretation of gradient: the second song’s tracks start unmuting one by one, starting with the flute and some percussion, then bass, etc, while the first song’s tracks start fading or muting one by one.
To make things interested, the first song is in the key of Bb major, while the second plays around A major and A minor, so the long middle section of this track, where the mutation happens, is in two superimposed keys, providing dissonance and instability instead of the original track’s clear mood.
