This is my favourite one. Love playing this when I'm on weird drugs. One of my favourite bits of music this opener.
i'll do this one next then.
oh for fuck's sake, slipping straight away into the classic barty turns everything into a school play. the beggning very much reminded me of psycho. same black and white. same type of horror, as told through a 50's chic. the same tonal tricks to evoke feelings of mental instability; the trumpet in rosemary's baby when she screams "what have you done to him" looking at her baby.
but enough of that. i've got to be better.
that bit was very mournful. a great way to start the song.
laughter and chattering. the way that stimuli becomes sentient on hallucinogenic. all your sensations become communicative feedback. you're in a circuit with the world.
then it's that reverby scraping bit. caves.
all blippy bits. sorry, can't help it; it's like tom and jerry zipping back and forth.
then there's that swelling. almost like tympany. that's the bit just after the woosh you get on dmt. it's still reverberating in your system. the adrenline still flowing through you.
those bits like piano. it sounds like not getting the right impact you want. hitting something and it's not budging. it's inhibiting.
gone to fizzy dial up sounds. getting higher and higher pitched. wooooaaaaaaa.
thud. and a soft hiss.
sounds like feet walking upstairs. again this sense of sentience. a bit druggy paranoia where you think you're in the house alone and then there are these bangs that make you all uncofortable.
spitting water out your mouth with your tongue.
loads of german birds talking in a rabble.
wow then that hum overtakes them. fades them out. eerie. erasing them. or where they even real in the first place.
gorgeous, gorgeous "pad" type sound now. like the sun rising.
8 minutes in and its gone silent, which i'll use as my cue to finish this entry.
my hot take on this one is that it's apparitional. not in a naff sense (as i said, it could be a druggy kind of apparitional where you're getting these external consciousnesses interacting with you. or schizophrenia. it's inhuman stimuli suddenly being read as communication.
