Inland Empire

This is primarily an experiment in sound. I wasn't too concerned with composing anything that would necessarily be enjoyed by someone, just taking those steps towards figuring out how to create soundscapes and make spoken word passages sit in a mix. Not quite there yet with figuring it out but I had fun with this spooky ambient song. I was also toying with the idea of making melodies bass centric, so the ending section is two bass guitars playing melodic phrases.
Spoken Word Passages:
*PART 1*: "Inland Empire"
Unfiltered wellspring of imagination, emotion, and foreboding
It enables you to grope your way through invisible dimensions of reality
Gaining insight into that which sight cannot see
What do these enigmatic riddles mean for the world fate?
Animate the inanimate
(you'll have conversations with your clothing)
(conversations that will change the course of the investigation)
You'll be void of imagination
Shape the cosmos
*PART 2*: "Half Light"
~Instrumental~
*PART 3*: "Shivers"
Rain drips from the eves and floods the gutters, washing the filth away
The spring thaw must be here, the snow is melting
Looking up at the sky, cold water dripping from your hair
And what you see is a grey sky with great battleships, clouds colliding into one another
Rain falls down on the world
Your shirt sticks to your chest
The shoulders of your disco blazer grow heavy
The cold finds its way under your skin
You shiver, and the city shivers with you
