“Escape from the black cloud
that surrounds you.
Then you will see your own light
as radiant as the full moon.”

Love the aesthetic of this―shivers when the beat, bass, and voice are all firing around 1:06

Something I'm liking about Q4 WB is that everybody (who is left)'s tracks sound so good now!  I'm 7 tracks into the week 40 playlist and I'm almost at a 1:1 listen:fav ratio, this track included.

Monday is Moonday. And like a week and the hopes that come with it, this song starts with a tension and keeps it until the end. There's a very small solution hidden in the final note, maybe next week you will have finished the outbreak of the light:-) Tank you very much for this moving musical piece ...   

The synth sounds create a bit of ominousness/spookiness to this, which makes it a really great October/Halloween type of track.  Watching the gif while it plays really adds to that fall nighttime feel.

really nice mood piece, like looking through a temporary window

love the devellopment in this track. a slow build up, strong and resolute. looking forward to follow your suggestion and escape from the black clouds and will welcome what happens.

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Morpheus: No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

A prelude to a revolution? It feels like it's building up to something
- Ebrit

I do love your vocals, such a nice floaty ambiance. Love the industrial vibes, chord progression, synth sound palette.

VERY cool.

oh, you’re just gonna bust out and work the dub-skippity beat combined with the perfectly haunting-glow of your ghostly voice?! too-easily an instant favorite heart

Really like the hat on the beat, like, a lot, been looking for something metallic-but-weird and this is way doper than anything I found. big_smile

This would be a pretty incredible opener to a live show, hard not to see the room flushed dark red when that bass drops after a "beats in pitch black darkness" type opening. Tense af, with rhythms like a caged beast -- awesome. heart

sense of having received a long awaited signal

pretty cool huh?  isn't this process amazing?  i feel some anxiety as fall always seems like a race to get ready for winter so time for WB tracks has dwindled - but the things learned this past year seem to be helping the process - yay for learning & growth

i feel like a caged beasts sometimes - i wanted to fly off and rise up with the moon
& now i also want you to do stage show light design for me
the beat was called "zero crossing beat" - i added a "ringing snare" effect and bumped the eq a bit

That gritty bass at the 1:00 mark really adds a dimension to this ethereal track. I get a much darker vibe, close to industrial (laid back industrial but still). The whistle pad has a very nice tone, complementing the voice. This is the soundtrack for a drive at night.

I hope so too

This has really cool anthemic feels to it.  Like it is the beginning of something new on the horizon.  The dark lurking synth really gives it that sinister feel as well.  Your vocals as always tie it together especially with the whistly synth.
