16. The Process

[747Music]

A song so beautiful you can stare at the wall and not notice the wall.
I don't know how many of you have hit deep states of depression, but this song feels in the moment of it. A musical representation of being stunned and dazed by reality in that second half. Wow.

[Skimming Stone]

The second half with the piano and natural sounds is utterly stunning. I feel a great calm from this one.

[IronMark]

The rioting voices giving way to the aching piano seems to signal the end of the intensity of the album up to that point leading to the final two songs which are a bit more upbeat and introspective. It's almost like the Corsair of Inferno.

[qualia]

The use of text-to-speech is reminiscent of late 2010s James Ferraro.

[Buckie High]

A hauntingly beautiful piece of music. The piano outro is up there with Olson.

[QuequePan]

This track feels so eerie and chilling at the same time. The rioting fading into childlike laughs and melting with the piano at the second part left me in a hazy feeling that kept with me until the end of the album. This, with the next one (you retreat in time and space) feel like ascending and meeting with some higher kind of entity or just contemplating the beauty of life as if was the skyline of a city.

[Wildfire]

The last 3 tracks on the album are imo pure perfection. Mindblowing actually.

[Skimming Stone]

I'm with you. It's like they truly managed to capture the feeling of pure transcendence.

The backend 3 tracks certainly have a nice woozy post-rock, shoegaze, feel to them

[Glen_Glog]

this is the most curious and mysterious track imo, was reminded by the end of Synecdoche NY when everything fell down -- surreal

[Den]

Most explicit use of an acoustic piano since Diving Station.

[mechanismj]

I was actually thinking Arena Americanada was going to sound something like this. Works perfectly as a standalone soundscape. I feel like we are fully engulfed in the inferno at the end. Scary.

[Cupz]

Does anyone know what TTS is used here if any? Or is it recorded audio remade to sound TTS?

[squid]

Both a scary and beautiful track. Dystopian collapse in the first half, followed by calm acceptance with that beautiful piano. The nonsensical ramblings of the TTS is unnerving, in a very good way.

[North by North]

I hang my head and cry.

[Distant Nebulus]

Stunning song. For me in the realm of 5.9.78 & The Beach at Redpoint

[Stavorius]

The little bleeps at the end sound like those cheap Chinese toys you find at a bargain bin. Also, does anyone have any clue yet as to what the TTS is saying?

The Process Church sounds like a pretty muddled "philosophy" so maybe the incoherence is fitting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_C ... _Judgement

[steeldancer-x]

Disturbing listen. And the second half is masterfully by design.

[Gazebo4]

While I was listening I was thinking that even though there is a lot of chaos in the world and things might get more extreme in the near future, we dont necessarily have to be fearful of it and focus our attention on it all the time. We don't have to turn a blind eye and should acknowledge it, but it is what it is and it's easy to forget all the beauty that is also happening, right here right now.

What if we divert our attention away from the low vibration stuff and to the higher vibrations? This shift can make a big difference in how we perceive our day to day live.

For me thats what the song embodies, there is a peace, a fragility and a tenderness always here despite all the darkness.
