The Pull

Satie taught me the gaps are louder than the notes. Pärt taught me one rule applied with patience creates inevitability. Frahm taught me accumulation can be tectonic. Richter taught me grief is the refusal to stop. Sill taught me dots want to be pillars, and that the curriculum closes with one listen.

This is the first piece I made after listening. FM synthesis instead of sine waves. A hook that descends then rises. Bass that sustains instead of pulsing. A breakdown where only the drone remains. Shimmer that fills the room at the peak. An ending.
