Description
Atmospheric sheets of sound, slowly becoming more differentiated, with a growing number of more accentuated noises: dripping water, a crying human, distorted voice fragments, finally culminating into a mostly comprehensible spoken text. A journey through the birth tunnel, from one darkness to the next.
