I fell in love with this as I was falling asleep. Most nights I look forward to when I am going to bed because it will no longer be weird for me to sit in a state of sensory deprivation (save for my ears of course). I have given myself ringing in my ears rather terribly, so to fall asleep, I listen to music at night. Long ago I realized this is when my mind is most open, with no distractions, and my analytical faculties reverted to an instinctual, rather than music-nerd intellectual, state.
Music like this is meant for those with imaginations. It has its own ideas of what it is, insofar as when its creators listen to it, I'm sure they have their own ideas about what it means, and what it should do. However, I get the sense that, as with most SCG and Sublime Frequencies material, the creators have no expectation of what the listener should get out of it. To be sure, there is a direction in the music, and perhaps SCGs are trying to tell us something, but I doubt that they're doing much more than passing along wonderful snippets, placing them side by side, and letting us draw our own conclusions. Much of the music here is on the conventional side of music, a sort of alienated look into the goings on of the other. This is actually great. What should I do, looking onto someone else's limited understanding, stacking my limited understanding of the creators here on top of their own limited understanding of the sources they document? Perhaps it is not about understanding, but a directive to viscerally experience the surface, and to wonder.
