Gigi D'Agostino - Silence "vision2" ( Underconstruction 1 )







Ive only just recently been able to listen to this track / album again. This takes me back to my peak experience days. It was Winter as it is now. I remember driving down our country lane and being aware of every snow flake as it fell. That spell of  cold weather that occurred over Christmas had its very own  separate atmosphere. It felt  as though it was almost holy, but in a pagan way.The frosts were particularly hard at night, and the moon was a Wintery cold white colour. One day there was even the rumble of an earth quake that occurred locally. All in all this was too much to deal with. I was overpowered by life in a bitter sweet way. The hollow silvery sound of this track captures perfectly how it felt inside.



There are also two very strange things about this mix. At the very beginning there is the sound of a crackling fire on a sea shore. At that time that fire crackling sound started to appear in adverts and various mediums in my sphere. It was very surreal. The second strange thing is the way the male singers voice merges into a male voice at the end of the first vocals. This is very well done and has a gender blending tone to it. This excites me. No idea why because its very odd.

  1. I find it interested that you're affected by winter in such a way. For me, it seems like a season of some kind of intense hibernation, but, there was one thing you mentioned once that I do agree with -- that "winter reveals truth." Funny too how so many intense experienced always seem to converge around winter when you typically think of winter as a season of refuge.

    1. Meant to say "interesting," and "experiences" in my last sentence and no, I'll just leave it like that because I find when I try retyping I'll just make another typo anyway.

    2. I should have written " the male singers voice that merges in to a FEMALE one "
