Sacred Migration by Celestial Messenger

An experiment in narrative ambient music. The algorithm for this piece is similar to cubes falling and bouncing on thousands of rotating platforms, like some kind of fantastical pachinko machine, and echoing the unpredictable nature of migration, pushed and bounced from one edge to the next, always falling and recovering, always remembering and looking forward. Life and sound emerging endlessly, creating memories anew.
