1. Creek
-Long creek water babbles. Birds sing.
||
: -16th note low/mid hollow
enters,
-
followed by pentatonic side synth babbles.
-Thin
synth pad sound swells in the background
-Everything
is mostly in the same key until that final chord in the progress.
-Creek
fades out.**
-Synth
pad takes on more melodic focus during a repeat.
-Synth
pad lowers volume, but still present.
-Back
to 16th note low/mid hollow tree trunk, then form repeats : ||
**
Notice how the creek fading out is smack in the middle.
2. Feel
-Creek, birds, creek fades out. Bird stays in.
-Synth drones major 2nd?
-Little movement, subtle quiet
synth riff, going 2, root. Maybe same as
synth drone.
-2 offset rippity fast synth
leads on each ear, harmonizing and maybe slightly off tempo with each
other. This theme comes in every so
often.
-New synth chord theme,
descending minor 3 notes. “nya nya!”.
-Peaks and valleys like a wave
(formation).
-Low synth pad single smooshie
chord at the end.
-Really high end thin shimmer
sparkle.
3. Sheep
-Ocean waves
-Ascending 12 note pattern. Can be divided as 2 sets of 6, 3 sets of 4, 4
sets of 3, 6 sets of 2, or strangely, 12 sets of 1. OR 1 set of 12 LOL!
-Resonating side synths
sustaining single notes.
-Slightly delayed and panned
xylophone.
-Very almost inaudible phaser
synthesizer, fuzzy, drone maybe, in the very very background.
-The overall chord structure of
the song is minimal, very few chords stretched out over large periods of time.
4. Sleep
-Crickets
-High short synth melody,
uplifting but lullabalic.
-Very beginning melody
could be 5, 8, 9. If in C major, it
would be G, C, D.
-Lower synth plays call and
response with above synth.
-Lots of stray synths playing one
or two notes only.
-At various points all synths
coincide together to draw out a V7 chord.
Chord structure is generally ambiguous, whisper drifters.
-Thematic repeats span across a
few instruments.
-Two types of Electric keyboards,
each hard panned to either side. These
two boards are mid to high and share melodic themes. Somewhat thin sounding. They cut through the roaring thick foggy mids
of the sustained synthesizers.
5. Green
-The sound of rain splashing on to
leaves. The album is called Green.
-Song is more organized than
others. Clear melodic theme,
accompanying bass, left hand.
-Main theme is
pentatonic. Melody might be E, G, E, D,
E, if in C major.
-Stray keys/synth notes here and
there, panned very far back.
-Song ends on the major 7th
scale degree!
6. Feet
-Subtle very quiet ethereal sustained synth
chord..choir sound perhaps? Right at
beginning
-Hollow windy bass left hand
thang comes in.
-Electric Keys higher octave
right hand right panned.
-Louder organ sound eventually
comes in harmonizing more chordal action, still quiet for an organ though.
-Legend of Legaia, the town with
the green house at the top of the village tower. That is this song.
-Birds on the form repeat, higher
pitched on the left hard pan, more trilly that one is.
-Other less active
bird on the right.
-Lots of minor feeling going on,
very somber. Memorial ceremony, funeral?
-3rd form repeat,
water sounds enter. Nature takes over
with each repeat. The body goes back to
the earth. The Way of things takes
course. Wailing, mournful choir
synthesizer introduces itself.
-Despite all sadness, ends on (still
melancholic feeling but) major chord.
Moving forward after a tragic event.
7. Street
-OCEAN WAVES FLOODING THE STREET??
-Cute keys riff, staccato punctuation
here.
-Pitchy high synth doing it’s
thang over top all the water and waves and ocean.
-Again there is a SUPER QUIET,
almost not even there, block synth pad chunking away the chords. Its transparency is due to its quiet volume. Mostly, the chord is sustained for a few
bars, despite the chordal implications from the rest of the instruments. EX: The synth is playing C major, even if the
other instruments make patterns of F major, C major, G major. That’s not exactly what’s happening here,
just a basic example.
-Hieroglyphs gently pulsate amid
the damp rained air of a sleeping rural Japanese town. Street lights mirror off slick soft
roads. A house light is on, somewhere in
the distance. A stray cat meows. Then silence.
Peace blankets the town.
8. Teevee
-Ocean waves crash again.
-Keys harmonized riff, mebbe in
4ths? Like Fort Condor song from Final
Fantasy 7.
-Keys melodic on the right,
prolly improvised what have you nots?
-More low action sustaining
synths.
I like how much calmer this makes me feel.
