Week 8.1



Context*:     walking through a ruined cathedral
Emotion*:    anxiety, discovery, and fear but not frightened
Other:      the air around you heavy with ghosts

Another atmospheric piece. This one has tension floating high in a synth that trails off into a blend of whole-steps. There are whispered voices stuck in and panned to all different directions, hopefully giving it a "spiritous" feel. And a classic gregorian moving 5ths choral bit.
Again, textural, not melodic.
The picture is from Sligo Abbey, in northern Ireland
