Arpeggiatic Pacific
currents turquoise blend into sky and descent through the fresh water
ocean. Like glass ripples up above
impossible to distinguish layers of atmosphere from the liquid purity;
peacefully partially submerged partially floating. Delving into drinkable, breathable water.
Sun rays penetrate through fluid
curtains. 3D 1990’s Final Fantasy death
aquatic burial. Ancient wisdom saturate
all encompassing currents and streams.
Totally lose sense of body, sheer density and soothing of the water
dissolves physical and ego boundaries and we become a gelatinous unity.
Undulate through cross current
pockets of velvet fuzz feeling subtle warmth like a kitten laying in the sun.
Flow somewhat deeper somewhat
more still where light shies. Bodiless,
ambiguous form transperse experiencing cool and warm simultaneously. Sensations cease to be put into words,
formless unity grows and we become part of all.
Divided and peacefully overtaken by water, our cells now solution with
the entirety of existence via water. Such as all colors of light spectrum combined
become white, so do all experiences combine into spiritual wordlessness and cosmic All.
In between collective
experiential existence, more feelings specific to your ego briefly emerge and
pass like roaring rapids. The time spent
with old friends, two, five, maybe ten years ago. Where you were then versus where you are
now. Every life you’ve touched or
influenced. Every bit of
interconnectedness: Close friends spent time with daily, shop clerks you were
friendly with but never knew on a deeper level (a smile can mean a lot). The countless anonymous strangers you passed
on the street, the unknown people who’ve overheard your inane conversations
with friends, how even our clothing affects the people we experience day to day
but never directly interact with. The
lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, cereal, clothing, entertainment goods, the people
behind the scenes who make that happen.
The farmer in Mexico who grew that tomato for you to eat. He’s middle aged now, knows how to use all
sorts of complicated farming tools and machines. He has a wife and children he’s
supporting. Probably got a significant
spot in his community. But he was young
once, growing up and getting an education, helping his parents in any way he
could. An entire infinitely complex
story behind that one person who brought you the tomato. Within our egos we are bound by the web of
interconnectivity. These experiences
wash over us like the Pacific currents.
Then, dissolve again into the egoless white light prismatic combination
of the cosmic All.
The water becomes more still yet
and we nearly motionlessly drift amidst this breathable, drinkable, heavy
comfortable fresh water oceanic liquid.
Slight ascension at a leisurely
speed, like we are exiting the life stream.
Bodily feeling gradually returns, our physical outlines solidify once
more, vague feeling of warmth present.
Pleasant steady upward drift.
Light becomes stronger and the surface of the water is within eye
sight. Distinction between divide of
ocean/sky becomes visible. Turquoise
blues, pastel blues, liquid curtains.
Tonally
the piece centers around C major. There’s
a super low bass note of C humming in the background that seems to meander
between C and A. It’s hard to hear it
clearly, there’s just a low presence that jellies itself between those two
notes.
One of
the main riffs is a sustained A, B, down to G.
Then repeats as A, B, up to E.
This is sometimes doubled in a super high octave.
Another
main wave is a quickly descending sloshy arpeggio. It’s very transparent, very fast, and the
notes blur together really well so it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going
on. I think the notes are something like
B, A, E, A, all descending. This theme
pans between both ears and fades in and out throughout.
Less
active parts I’ve noticed are a sustained E note, a subtle E to F trill, and
another trill of A to B, this one very high pitched.
I’m sure
there’s more to this song than these few parts.
The way it’s mixed is so gelatinous and difficult to discern. Super cool stuff =)
