Review

Its a very long song... decided to listen to the song because hexi said that it was very good, and hexi was right because it sounds excellent. The song is an instrumental loop for 24 hours, with next to no changes at all. However, when you listen its more like an experience than a boring loop. When Lân started to listen, she saw the loop, but after something like one hour, she started to notice something new - a high pitched sound near the start of the loop. This sound was here for all of the song, but she only noticed now. The song makes you aware of very small changes in the sound of the song that you wouldnt notice usually, and theres lots of things to notice. Near the second hour, she noticed a very quiet beat in the background that sounded a little like a low pitch guitar chord, and also, like the last song, when you notice the sound its impossible to forget. Near 3 hours 30 minutes, the loop changes. Not in your head but the loop truly changes, and a low pitch continuous sound starts, but its different to the beat in the background, this is a heavy sound and is very easy to notice, because by now, after listening to the same thing for more than three hours, the change is extremely obvious. However, this stops after something like 5 minutes, so theres not much time to experience every detail... After listening for something like 3 and a half hours more, on the mark 5 hours 45 minutes, there was another change. This time, it was a loud, low pitch noise, that sounded something like a bell but very distorted. Also, there was a loud and low pitched drone behind the bell, and this continued for the entire loop. The dtrone was inconsistent, however, and it would play for a very short time, then stop for a very short time very fast. This created a very weird effect on the ears, and with the bells playing at the same time, it was a very interesting change. When the change started to end, Lân wasnt sure if the change was fading out or not, because after the change, there was a very quiet and subtle bass just before the end of the loop. About 30 seconds later, Lân decided to go back to search for this song earlier, to discover that the sound was there for the entire song, and it wasnt a part of the change fading out. A very short time later, Lân noticed something else, now there was a a high pitched sound like a squeak in the background about half a second before the bass from before. This was a surprise achos its very obvious when you listen to the song that its a low pitched song, and if there was a high pitched noise, it would be very obvious, so it was a big surprise to discover this just now, six hours into the song. A very short time later AGAIN, she noticed something different again, now there was a sound like a bell after the first big deep sound. After listening to this for the first time, it was impossible to forget it, and now, it feels so obvious that she's surprised she didnt notice it before now. Theres another change at 9 hours 30 minutes, however this sounds like the first change, so this wasnt too interesting, but it was a nice change to the loop. After this, there was one more change at the halfway point, and this was something different. Its a strange sound that sounds like floating bubbles, but very low pitched. Its hard to describe perfectly, but its a strange sound that complements the song. After about two minutes of this, it starts to use something similar to a drum beat over the floating sound. This fades out after about 5 minutes. Lân didnt notice any more changes after this, unfortunately. However theres not enough to notice now. Anyway, the next change was at 14 hours 45 minutes, and this was a very slight change, but very obvious by now. The song started to use a low drone above the loop, with some changes in volume and pitch. Its hard to know if the change played before now, but this isnt important, because this sounded lovely to listen to over the loop. By now, Lân thought that she had heard everything she could hear in the song, and the next thing she noticed was a change at about 17 hours in, with 7 hours to go to the end. However this was the same thing as something from earlier in the song, so this wasnt something new. However of course, it was a nice change to hear. After listening to the entire 24 hours, its hard to give a score to this song, because of the length and the nature of the song, however if anything is sure, its an amazing song.
