“Big Blue” by Deniz Cuylan sounds like music from a cult fantasy story from Iceland. The sequenced bell tones carrying rhythm and some of the melody seem to run out ahead of the main section of the story like guiding lights along a pathway at night. Strings and harmonic tones course through the song like winds of tone creating a dream like, otherworldly mood as Sarah La Puerta’s elfin vocals provide a warm human emotional coloring relating a story of a garden in the ocean as a metaphor for a cultivated inner life and shared experiences. It’s a song that is both soothing while acknowledging melancholic moods and personal emotional challenges with its gentle, layered textures and hypnotic interweave of near abstract melody.
