Beginning with volume swells on guitar and a low background repeating synth figure “Orders of Magnitude” by Lakes of Wada edges forward like a drifting cloud formation. Melodic electronic drones thread into the mix in layers giving the composition a bit of conventional songwriting element inside the more experimental soundscape framing. Going from minimal to a full spectrum of sounds including a full drum set, the song progresses to give expression to the title. From quiet calm of the beginnings of a rainstorm to not torrents but a steady rain interrupted by sunshine as the rain clouds pass overhead away from a sun headed toward the night time horizon. Rather than morning music or night music, this is late afternoon music and while dynamic with flaring tones, it’s feel is like that time of the day when you know it’s time to wind down a bit or the part of the summer when you can tell the season has broken and cooler days area ahead.
