Simply the best kind of, my favourite, blend of heavy cymbal timbre overlapping with electronically synthesised sine waves, that create textures that are soothing for my soul, but not everyone will find it such an easy listening. Most will probably find it anxiogenic, due to, in my experience, a cultural bias, created by similar sounds overused for tense parts in movies that might prevent some from enjoying the sound qualities at display. The bestcontinuation of Parmegiani's De Natura Sonorum. 23trees
