A serious attempt at scarifying music. A deliberate beat with an extra clang, and then with a pencil tapping on a glass, the beat becoming more complex around 1:35min. Now...

Birds twitter, bamboo drums, bamboo flute (?), xylophone. It's a light as air mix that I find soothing. A more orchestral mix towards the end. Nicely done!

Alienation the theme, minor keys the means, along with lyrical impressions of tears, screams, and long-lost dreams.
