As you say very medatative.

I feel thoroughly soothed!

Yes! Raw emotion mixes great with my headspace. Excellent mixing of all those samples!

Thank you Speck! The layering was perfect and it breathed new life yet again into those selections 😁 I could absolutely see lightning bugs being so opinionated as to speak those words 😊 Thanks again for this and all you do for this community! 😁
Cheers!

really a lovely serene image, and thru it all the hum & buzz of lightning bug wings…

Panu was first. I thought of summing fireflys as well.
I like your track very much.

Very Well done. I see Fireflies.

i love the opening, with the vocal chorus i imagine fireflies hovering in mystical form. that low-end sound is amazing! your varying musical sections are like a journey all around the globe - a perfect soundtrack for Joel’s important spoken word. Very moving.

This piece calls for attentive listening as the sounds and the words create an atmosphere of contemplation. The rumble pulse is grounding. I hope you and yours are staying well dear Speck.

This could easily be act 2 of Manajunkies story in his SM.
You guys working together??
Great atmosphere!

Oh… the intro gave me a shiver up my neck… patient, delicate, and brilliantly supportive of the spoken word. Wonderful.

OK, disclaimers:

1) I really, *really* like this.
2) I’m totally with Kara, shivers up the neck…
3) The near-subsonic vocal treatments (faux Kargyraa?) are brilliant!

But it’s…signs and portents! Am I the guy in the corner having the *bad* trip, can’t convince anyone else to run before it’s too late? (Yeah, obviously!) Something ancient, massive, silent, and unseen is coming back… If I were scoring a film depicting civilization slumbering on the eve of its last day, this would be a *really* good soundtrack. Coming soon to a drive-in near you. Maybe I’ll re-listen after a dip in the Cuervo river and feel more soothed? But the hangover could turn into one of those Philip K Dick psychotic breaks followed by wildflowers and straightjackets…the invasion mere history, assimilation its long march?

Did I mention I *really* liked this?

Lightly chilling with elements of the macabre, interprets the narrative succinctly. Well paced and a nicely balanced production — as it fades I long for more :)
