Cosmic Murmurs is an incredibly special project to me and is my largest personal project completed to date. It was first started 3 years ago in my basement studio just messing around with orchestral samples and a Line 6 POD board. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to come across so many amazing musicians that have helped make my image of it come to live. Allow me to take you on a journey for the next 10 minutes. It consists of 5 distinct sections, which can be thought of as mini movements. The Prologue establishes a dark tonality of heavy strings, bells, and throat singing. This transitions into Section 2, which introduces the aspects of the metal band as an ambient metal texture. A fiery climax of the metal section leads into a transition to Section 3. This section is an orchestral interlude that utilizes all of the instruments of a full-size orchestra. The harp gradually fades into a heart-felt oboe duet, progressively building to a large orchestral climax. Following Section 3, Section 4 blasts off with heavy drums and bass which kicks into double time from the content of Section 2. Piece by piece, the orchestra and band meld together into a seamless blend of orchestra and metal. After all the motions have moved, a scream of the winds and trumpets on a high A signal the explosive ending. Section 5, the ending, reviews all of the thematic material developed in the previous sections. Everyone is playing their instruments as loud as possible for an incredibly emotional delivery of the final button which dies away with the calling of the opening guitar theme.
