The Shimmering Spiral of The Album Leaf’s “Rotations” is an Emotional Journey to Tranquil Transcendence

The slow shimmering spiral of The Album Leaf’s “Rotations” sounds like what it feels like to look out the window flying over the Arctic circle and looking out the window at the frozen tranquility of the landscape below. It’s stark yet comforting from the relative safety of the airplane cabin. Then the song’s icy synths give way to more solid and direct tones that are vivid and rich yet smooth and resonant in a way that soothes at it stimulates your brain with its ascending melodies that build with subtly added brighter sounds that complement well and intertwine with the core rhythmic frequencies and textures until all glimmer into the distance. It’s a musical journey inward into more transcendent emotional spaces that leaves your brain at ease. Watch the visualizer on YouTube and follow The Album Leaf at the links below.
