Silence V is gusty, eery.

By kejoness
Silence V is consistently gusty and spiritually oriented.
-- Asbendos features circular, airy, light synth tones orbiting around a deep pipe organ theme. The effect is somber intrigue in the sky.
-- While Angels Sleep is softly lilting, female voices humming, and not much else, evoking light clouds and promoting meditation.
-- In Master of the Sky, breezy synthesizer keyboard tones continue and advance the lofty theme, while an eery, faintly garbled male voice identifies with the wind.
-- Ancient Beauty combines more of the deep pipe organ with the light, female humming, then adds a slow, distant, ceremonious drumming.
-- Picnic seems to try to bring the listener down from the sky: a field of birds chirp while some kind of retro, eletcric piano plays out a simple, slow, tick-tock riff, eventually joined by a light melody on an echoing guitar.
I'm not one who likes to come down to the ground much, yet I like a fair amount of direction, evolution, and dynamism, so Asbendos and Master of the Sky are the tracks on this album that stick with me.
