aes somnium

to make this track, i did a diary approach where every so often (daily or so), i added a few little parts. at the end of the week i had about 30 minutes of different pieces and parts that i felt told a little story.
i'm not the best piano player and so i feel there are some noodly bits in here that i thought i could make more direct (i tried) but felt it made it less sincere so i just left it as is.
i see a ritual that you don't understand. old and the meaning has been lost. you participate out of muscle memory, but there is something missing.
or... it's a refusal. rejecting supplication to a god who has cursed you. so it's an act of bravery.
or it's like watching something burn, a memento of some kind, and you watch it fade from sight as the last ember burn. the shape remains, but turns to ash. eventually, the memory fades too. frightening, but, no going back now.
yeah, i like that. but i like it vague where you can derive your own meaning.
what do you see?
