Weaver's Chant ✦ 08. Chasm Whispers

V6

[Instrumental, 60 BPM, F sharp and C sharp open fifth, section 1 of 20, 16 bars: opening on the F sharp and C sharp open fifth from the last track, one solo cello bows glassy high harmonics, a thin whistling drone like glass, the mood haunting and bare, never loud] [Instrumental, section 2 of 20, 16 bars: the cello drone continues, one long bow stroke every two bars on F sharp and C sharp harmonics, the sound hanging like a stone vault above] [Instrumental, section 3 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom enters with single disjointed notes, one every three beats, like drops of water falling into a cavern, each note ringing out into a long dark echo] [Instrumental, section 4 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom drops fall irregularly, sometimes in pairs, far apart, each one ringing out alone, the cello drone steady beneath] [Instrumental, section 5 of 20, 16 bars: the breathy pan flute enters with soft air tones and no pitch, only breath, like wind through stone, drifting in and out] [Instrumental, section 6 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute holds one long note with a rapid fluttering tongue, a trembling rolled breath, the cimbalom drops continuing] [Instrumental, section 7 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute makes breathy bends, notes sliding down in pitch with air in every sound, the cello harmonics rising by one step] [Instrumental, section 8 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom drops fall in small clusters of three, then rest for four beats, the pan flute breathing between them] [Instrumental, section 9 of 20, 16 bars: the cello harmonics climb higher, glassy overtones rising like a thin cold wind, the pan flute fluttering above] [Instrumental, section 10 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute plays a chilling long breathy bend followed by a trembling trill, the cimbalom drops irregular and wide apart] [Instrumental, section 11 of 20, 16 bars: the cello adds a second glassy harmonic voice a little apart in pitch, the two tones beating together in an eerie shimmer] [Instrumental, section 12 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute whispers a broken phrase of the chant in its low register, each note cut by breath, a repeated note, a leap up a fourth, a fall that stops short] [Instrumental, section 13 of 20, 16 bars: the peak, the cavern at its widest, cimbalom drops ringing in wide clusters all around, the cello glass harmonics at their highest, the pan flute fluttering and bending in the center, haunting and intense but never loud] [Instrumental, section 14 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom drops thin to one every four beats, the cello harmonics descending by steps, the pan flute breathing lower] [Instrumental, section 15 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute makes its last breathy bends, sliding downward, the cello drone steady on F sharp and C sharp] [Instrumental, section 16 of 20, 16 bars: the cello harmonics descend and darken, the cimbalom dropping one note every four beats, the cavern echo long and dark] [Instrumental, section 17 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom plays one single drop every eight beats, the pan flute only soft air tones, the cello moving its drone down to C sharp] [Instrumental, section 18 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute breathes one last air tone and rests, the cello drone settling on glassy C sharp harmonics] [Instrumental, section 19 of 20, 16 bars: the cello alone on C sharp, one cimbalom drop ringing out into the cavern, the drone thin and glassy] [Instrumental, section 20 of 20, 16 bars: the volume only falls, the cello holds one glassy C sharp until the end, ready for the next track] [END]
