End Of An Empire...

I'd thought my streak of dSound shares had come to an end, however, upon further consideration, I figured it might as well be worth throwing up a few more instrumentals from the vault that may not be my best works, but nonetheless are still pretty good and may be of enjoyment to some listeners...

This one, I can't recall the exact production date, though it would've been around 2014.

I was in the middle of my 5 years living in Bali, and of any of the productions I'd done while there, this one probably captured the most of its spirit, given the featured gamelans in it. (An Indonesian instrument, which I'd used a Native Instruments sample pack in here).

I wouldn't call this a song, so much as a progressive soundscape of sorts...

Quite an interesting fusion - the Balinese gamelans with organs and heavy synths - somewhat ambient, obscure, building up in intensity... releasing into the spaciousness of the overdriven gamelans reverberating thick amidst the sound of wind, white noise, or whatever the f*ck I'd used.

Whatever you'd call this, it's definitely got some depth of emotion to it.

Without further ado, may you have a listen yourself and experience the ride - wherever it may take you...

Enjoy!
