I chose crossfade as my term. It may not be as present, but I hear a background, somewhat blinking type noise, and then it fades out and enters into a whole new sequence of beats. I really like how it is executed here.

The term I decided to identify was fader which has to do with raising and lowering volume in music. Starting at 1:17 is when the volume begins to drop and once at 1:34 is where the volume peaks for this section. Throughout this section the effect is very apparent and is even visualized by the audio meter. Overall the music does a great job at creating these slow buildups that lead into something bigger and it is what keeps the listener interested the whole way through

I hear fades and mix throughout the whole piece, this is alittle bit harder for me but around 5:58 i hear sort of a spinning sound like spindle. 

There is a pitch shift at 2:02 which sounds like an elephant a little bit. They use this to give a vibe of an alarm going off I think. I get that vibe because the name is called altered space.

The whole piece has many looping samples and sounds that sometimes change in volume, but mostly the change that occurs in the piece is adding layers that slowly make the texture more dense as time passes. It seems like there is a heavy use of synthesizers, some could be analog modular synths, and probably some samples as well.

the track has many layering on loops of sounds that fade to become part of the background then they slowly resurface and become more noticeable like a main focus. there's this distinct sound that loops throughout the track which sounds almost like a humming bird. So interesting and not very overwhelming, every sound blends well and cross fades with another creating somewhat of a short rhythm.

also the part at 8:55 has a noticeable crescendo, such a cool play on music dynamics

I like the use of pitch bending here. It gives the track its own beat and a pleasant buildup without relying on discrete notes.

I like the pinging here alternating between both ears and eventually fading to the background.

The crossfade between the droning note that wobbles, the strings, and the thunk in the back gives me this very sinister feeling.

Seth Graham is an experimental musician and composer known for deftly creating barrages of beatific computer music and blue-collar musique concrète. Outside of his own recordings, Graham is also the co-founder of Orange Milk, a beloved DIY imprint that has established itself as a pillar of contemporary underground music. 

"Hint", the Dayton, OH producer's sixth album, follows Graham sifting out an uncanny array of aural objects that clash together like some brilliant form of avant ASMR. Rejecting any and all recognized references or influences from musics both popular and obscure, Graham relies entirely on his own impulses and inclinations. 

As Graham explains, "I wanted the creation of tracks to be pure joy, by not overthinking and collaborating with friends. This allowed me to let go of the outcome and find satisfaction in enjoying the process. Artists like myself are so over ridden with anxiety, the need to be accepted or the obligation to be ‘successful’ often dominates our process in making choices and creating. I tried to let this go." 

Graham re-purposes and re-contextualizes found sounds, forgotten library music, and sampled stock sounds for a new form of symphonic pointillism, best heard on "Beyond Sadness", "Hint", and "Pierre / Ruby" (featuring More Eaze). Elsewhere, he creates dense but agile rifts of programmed patterns and textures, fully displayed on "Black / Yellow," a schizophrenic kaleidoscope of foley sounds, sinisterly suspenseful stringed arrangements, and shades of intrigued Italo horror featuring Koeosaeme. Even still, there's room left for both inner and outer contemplation, as with the haunting drift of synthetic serenity that is closing track "Love". 

Taken as a whole, Hint provides a fitting entry point to new listeners who aren't familiar with Graham's past work while simultaneously poising Graham as an unsung hero of anti-composition.
