The Mountain Wants to Die



I had a dream about a mountain that walked. Many tribes lived on the mountain and in its caves. The seers, mystics and holy men of the tribes claimed to be able to speak to the mountain and would tell their people the mountain was walking towards its end - it was ancient and tired and ready to meet oblivion. Once it found it, whatever it looked like, they would all perish. They all had different answers for how to please the mountain, to convince it to go on walking. But it didn’t really hear them.



The track is primarily made up of two constantly cycling synth arps than run through the whole thing playing on different pieces of gear. One remains constant and true - it's built to do that kind of thing. The other isn't but tries to mimic the other arp regardless. Whenever the former filter opens up it sounds the same. The other sounds different each time, trying to find its own sound while hitting the same notes, but never hitting that stuttering note quite right. They chase each other round while smothered with sad strings and raging static swells. Eventually the former drifts away into a reverb drone. The other remains, now a strange echo of the first, not quite making sense now the other has gone. And that's the whole story right there.
