Description
As part of my Italian Influences project, I was wanting to write about a repeated series of paintings I saw in many churches there: the final judgment. It got me thinking about a 2 part piece in a hell and heaven theme, but when I started it the hell part twisted, turned and morphed into something more like a first person exploration into the darkness of the deeps. As this piece grew, I want the listener to feel like they are moving through unfamiliar and dim spaces towards an unknown end.
This work eventually became more like a foley track than a piece of music, but there you go. I actually stripped the musical instruments out that were there in the first drafts. Without a tune, it was hard to pick a genre but I think it could go well with a movie or game - and it doesn't match what I think of as ambient. I think that the influences from StormDrum2 were too attractive and so I wanted to mine a small fraction of what that package could offer. I also played with the new Ozone 4 demo and found it to be pretty cool in what it can do for a mastering newbie like me.
Finally, my apologies for not being around much to appreciate all the great work MacJammers produce. It seems that I am getting busier than I thought and even completing this small work has taken months of a few moments here and there. I also had my computer die completely and require sending away for a new main board just at the time I was on vacation and did have a little time to work on music. The universe has a sense of humour.
This piece has lots of low frequency content and so is best heard in surround ear headphones or on speakers and a subwoofer.
I hope you enjoy the journey of Descent.

This is very descriptive of a kind of Hell.... because it's an audio version of a deep depression... truly. Having all those things happen to you and your computer, is probably what led you to be able to get down in sound what you were feeling LOL. There's great depth and vastness and darkness depicted here...... quite a listen, regards M
