The new Fleonite single “Shifting Time” seems so aptly named because its pacing has a more intuitive and organic flow and not a standard song arrangement. There is a sense of depth in the sound with a subtle bass line in the background accenting time, blissed out synth melodies, echoing piano, enigmatic vocals and washes of tone that feel like you’re walking down a tunnel toward some shining, promising fulfillment at the end but not completely out of reach. As such, there is a sense of hope and light that streams forth from the song. While it doesn’t provide that psychic payoff itself, it’s almost like a musical analog of that Buddhist thing about the journey being the goal as in the practice is the reward, the ongoing learning and striving toward something new to stimulate the heart and mind rather than get complacent having achieved and end point. The music reminds one of a casual stroll through a bright springtime garden wherein the natural beauty of the environment is itself good enough and nourishing to the spirit without the experience having to adhere to an artificial, preconceived notion of the good. Listen to “Shifting Time” on Soundcloud where you can further explore Fleonite’s work.
