Sounds like such a scary time, sending well wishes! The synths and machine/ambient sounds blend really nicely. Your wife's quip about the MRI is hilarious.

That was heavy. Good on you for using music to express the realness of life. Sending you and your wife positive thoughts.

Wow, scary experience! Hope you wife is getting better. Nice ambience here. Cool to hear the doors open and people talking. Loud MRIs with their tight spaces have always sounded scary to me.

Sorry to hear about the circumstances that caused you to make this. I think this piece is really beautiful. Keeping all the elements minimal but changing just enough throughout the piece, so that things don't become "stale", I think is a challenge, and i think you've managed to do that. It creates a sense that time becomes meaningless and when listening, I don't know if I've been listening for two minutes or ten minutes. The way that tension is built made me think of a jacobs ladder (i think they call it), somehow always going somewhere but never really arriving. I'm a bigger fan of yours every week! Hope everything goes well.

Thank you for sharing this track and this story. I think that is the pure capture of art, capturing a moment, with its extreme anxiety. The drone feels like we're drowning in dark seas. The fact that you sampled real foleys makes it even stronger. I can really relate to that kind of tracks as I've also done field captures in very sad moments, to capture and try to bottle that time (and sometimes I find it hard to listen to the track again as it takes me straight back to it).

The light synths sound like a prayer, asking for the rays of light to pierce through the clouds.

It is good that everything went well in the end. That sure must have been crazy scary.

it's got that constant tension, somewhat unsettling, but also strangely uplifting, like with a hopeful tinge all throughout(and i like the sound-design of all the background noises and such, provides the perfect foundation), nice work alchemizing the tension of your experience in this track
much relaxation, positivity, and great health to you and your wife

Thank you The loss of sense of time was definitely something I experienced during all this. I only know how long the test took because they told us before they started. I'm happy I was able to translate that into the piece. Really appreciate the kind words.

Thank you so much. It was certainly a little tough to re-listen to those hallway recordings all day while putting this together, but also cathartic in a way. Taking the recordings at all was probably just me trying to distract myself or give myself something else to focus on, but I'm glad I took them. The whole day is a bit of a blur at this point. I'm really happy that the mix of anxiety, hope, and loss of time came through in the piece. Thank you again for the kind words

Thanks Raja

Thank you all for the kind words and well wishes. Very much appreciated. My wife is feeling much better now, and things are starting to get back to normal. Definitely a very scary moment, but just so grateful things turned out okay. Wishing good health and happiness to all of you
