Slow, driving beat, atmospheric ambient electronic new age piece with an ethnic flair. Heavy bass synth and drums with mysterious, lush pads/layers, Native American Lakota flute melodies, distant shamanic vocals. Good 4 nature scenes & spacious visuals, & many things mysterious & tribal.
Relaxed, ambient piano track with occasional acoustic guitar notes and soft pads. Melancholic, tender, impressionistic, inviting. A time for quiet reflection. Semi-classical; reminescent of the works of Erik Satie and Brian Eno. Available is also an alternative version which cuts out the pads, leaving only the piano and guitar.
