Sounds a rather intense way to finish your track, for what it's worth I really liked it.  For whatever reason the same thoughts kept repeating in my head: it's the end of the film, our anti-heroes are driving into the night and the credits roll.

Also "sounded like a cat composing a score to a horror film" - not going to lie, I'd be keen to hear it

Signature piano fully present, but the arp adds nice motion to that. Makes the quiet ending all the more effective. Very nice piece! Hope your heart's going to be fine.

Sorry to hear you've been going through the afibs.  That does not sound fun.  Make sure you're taking care of yourself as we need our weekly dose of noodles here.  This does sound like it could soundtrack a movie.  It's got an intense but appealing energy to it.  The outro creates a nice contrast to the main part of the piece.

Dear Tone Matrix, I hope that there is a cardiologist in your area, who can help you getting rid of those fibrillations. As this fantastic song this week proved , it is a stressful situation having those issues. I could feel a strong tension in your track and I could not believe how you survived doing this, while having a flattering heartbeat. It came out very intense and affecting.
But here are some tips for you, you should try, maybe you already know them: it concerns the vagus nerve, which should be triggered to slow down the cardiac stimulation, so that a normal Sinus frequency can take over again. I had some successful interventions in the Intensive care unit and the emergency room by letting the patient take an ice cube in the mouth or drinking ice-cold water. As well I was lucky with a massage at a certain point at the neck on one (!) side, to stop the arrhythmia.
There are a few other methods to stimulate the vagus. Do you have a thrombosis prophylaxis? This is standard.
Good luck and thank you for the song and the drummer video.

NIN vibes right away for me. So strong had to type that here as I'm listening lol. There's also a delicious whisper of Mr. Robot which is a show I've watched more times than I can count and a soundtrack I go back to over and over so yeah please consider that a high nerdy compliment from me to you from the bottom of my nerdy heart.

This is wonderful. I love the build, the piano is pretty much one of my fave sounds and under the arp just soooo powerful. Also the percussion following the arp so closely is remarkably effective and OMG the resonance lasers around 3 mins.... live fan boying.

(Actually also a little House soundtrack but this is better!)

Absolutely love this. Altered states of being - health related in particular - can really change the way you work and create. I still credit my month of spooky mid tempo to a migraine and some resulting fucked up brain chemistry. I do hope you get your afib situation cleared up. Meanwhile you are making some compelling, wonderful music. Thank you!

Hey, if a dog can write a horror soundtrack (Silent Hill 2 anybody?), a cat can too!
This is such a cool tune. The piano bass notes, that mesmerizing synth arp pattern, that subtle tapping / thumping beat, it all just comes together in such a cool and moody way. Really cool stuff.

And I'm sorry to hear about the afib trouble. It sounds like a heck of a thing to deal with. +1 Q-Rosh, I hope they can help treat it. Glad at least to hear the hurricanes missed you.

was in love at first arp. Such a great backdrop to the entire tune. Also laughing at "I-apo-lo-gize-a-trillion-times" which I definitely sang in my head as I read it. And, wild "2nd thumbnail on the right was a dude doing a drum cover of H4T". Afib sucks, been there. The doctor was like, "oh I really like the sound of my heart beat" I said I hate mine because it's not perfectly rhythmic all the time. He goes, oh that's normal. Anyway, love everything about this song. Cinematic and catchy at the same time.

oh buddy,, so sorry to hear that ticker is still acting up, trying to join Van Halen, etc!
cannot even imagine trying to work through something like that. that you were able to do that and deliver this absolute gem is mind-boggling.

meant to comment earlier in the week but have been struggling a bit with words this week. i've been listening to this song a LOT. even playing along a bit. it's really special.
not hearing anything shrill or offputting.

thank you for sharing all this with us, and really hope you can catch a break. i'm glad you have been safe from the hurricane.

Oooh, I like the arps here and the huge low pads rising and rolling. Glad the hurricanes missed you, crazy. This song kind of sounds like something, maybe ominous like hurricane or afib attack is on the way, creeping toward us in its waves. Sorry you're having the afibs, sounds scary, if it's like the monster drums of hot for teacher, that's intense! Love that drum cover you shared, wooh, hot for drums!

afib sucks, my partner just had an ablation to have hers fixed and so far so good (recovery hasn't been the easiest but the afib is gone). Very easy to get lost in this track well done. Hope you feel better soon!

I can totally see how that arp would have been therapeutically hypnotic.  Really works well with the piano, and has an incredibly cinematic vibe to it.  I agree with the NIN vibes, kind of reminds me of the score from Social Network, still Reznor, but driving and cinematic.

Oh that track is delicious. The beat is great (though I cannot unhear now the hot for teacher). The backing with the piano brings gravitas. Beautiful and awe inspiring!

I knew this one would be special, started with your signature piano but then these arps I'm not used to hearing in your tracks, they really can be thing of beauty (and in this case therapeutic, which does make sense).  Like the rising synth starting at 3:57, like the engines starting on your rocket ready for take off into the unkown beauty of expansive space.

I adore those opening synth arps. This song is amazing. The build is incredible and I love love love that percussion. Just phenomenal.
Big oof about the afib. I hope you're doing better soon.

Sounds like the opening of a sci-fi TV series I'd definitely watch! Hey man, take care. I hope you get everything under control.

Catching up on my TM listening What a ride this one is, the arps, percussion, etc, everything just works and layers so nicely, and some of the changes were so sneaky/gradual. And ooof the 5 minute mark felt like a deep exhale, such an effective build up and release of tension. Sending best wishes re: your health.

Thank you friend, I truly appreciate your concern and helpful info.  I've been putting off stuff for too long I will admit but I did make recent appointments for a cardiologist after a mixup with getting referrals and such.  I have not heard of what you described but I will look more into it and try it out next time.  I def have been getting them so often.  Not all of them have the same intense magnitude this particular one had but yes I def need to get back with a cardiologist.  Thank you

YES!! Hai Fivuh!! I love the show and the score to Mr. Robot.  Mac Quayle does an awesome job and made me love that show even more because of it.  Thanks so much

Thank you so much. I hope she is recovering well and feels better soon.  I wonder myself if I may have to get that someday.  Glad you liked it and thank you for the kind comments
