Ancient Bloom With Slow Dark Texture Track

Three and a half minutes of dark, major-key atmospheric music with very light percussion, a moderate dynamic range and a slow, unfolding shape.

For historical and archaeological documentary, nature and time-lapse footage, museum and exhibition video, and contemplative sequences. Ancient in feel rather than in instrumentation — it suggests age through pace, not through period instruments.

Three minutes twenty-seven, the longest track in the album, in G major — a key it shares with the background score that closes it. Tied for the lightest percussion in the entire album, with the award fanfare later in this album, and the second-darkest recording by spectral centroid.
