Cementation Anxiety Guides Us From Heavy Emotional Textures to a Bright and Gentle Catharsis on Ambient Drone Song “Departure”

“Departure” rushes into sonic frame with a flood of white noise flowing like a rapid wind. It feels like both an overwhelming saturation of emotional experiences and when that palpable, granular sound clears one hears a deep, melodic tone echoing in the distance like a beacon in the darkness more felt than seen. There is a dynamic to this song that makes one think of walking out of a space of dark, fog-enshrouded night toward something unknown but discernible like the haze of a city on the horizon. As the track progresses the quality of sound seems more luminous than simply a textural inundation of noise and in the end sonic miasma dissipates. Emotionally, Cementation Anxiety has crafted a piece that is indeed like a departure from weighty stasis and density of emotional resonances to one of restful if not soothing clarity, like a purge of the crush of painful memories hitting all at once and then being able to let them go.
