A miniature containing influences from Ted, video game music, and some romanticism near the end.

It sounded to me like a stream of consciousness, never quite resolving, always with the potential for something different. I guess all improvisations are to some degree, but this sounded very refined, yet with almost a "raw materials" feel at times. I'm having trouble expressing myself here, I cannot quite describe what I heard. Maybe that is a good thing, a foil to all of the labelling that is prevalent in our modern society.

A beautiful mosaic of themes, I found it quite ralaxing and intriguing at same time.
All truths, not merely ideas, but truthful faces, truthful pictures or songs, are highly beautiful.
