A kind of electro/funk/ambient hybrid, with lots of manipulated breaks, designed to be thick but not too in your face, some very airy minor chords, and a dynamic yet short melody. There is also some fills from different breaks, various piano licks for a bit of flavour, and a whole middle section where we switch to a different break, and we go crazy with the syncopated chords, alternating between trance like sections and thick filtered parts. It doesn't seem like it's a lot from the project file, but the sound is more dense so it makes up for lost parts. I do like this one, because the melodies actually have some weight to it, even if the mix is not the best. Enjoy!

Ash drifts like snow across the land with no voice.
No bird, no reaching hand, to help the ones who preach.
The rivers cracked, the mountains wept
With all that lived now silent, asleep.
through the ash where the silence sings,
faded stars weavee their silver strings,
bones of earth in the twilights glow,
whisper secrets only shadows know.
OH wasteland heart,
where echoes cry,
drift on the wind where the dreamers lie
in the quiet, we bloom, we fade,
we soar,
ethereal souls in the dust evermore
Playing around with some Game Boy sounds
Couldn't decide between downtempo and uptempo so...
Just a pseudo-apocalyptical, sad or whatever quick tune. Title is based in a Simpsons episode some might recognize, but updated to today real life wordwide situation.

Me on voice

Oohh ahh ohh
I used some eagle sounds from Freesound.org also:
