The Desert Silence

Story Behind The Song

We all yearn for something different. The piece seeks to explore that happy, though eventually fruitless, search for fulfillment through change.

Song Description

This short and concise piece, created with emulations of flute and strings over a rambling but rhythmic beat that suggests walking or journeying; a person who has no real sense of place. The piece has layers of delicate reverb applied to the instruments to develop a complex structure that belies the apparent simplicity of the piece. The piece is intended to leave the listener with sense that it will continue off into the distance and that no destination will ever be reached.
