The Storm Before the Calm

Alanis Morissette

Nearly two hours of expansive, wordless ambient soundscapes. A radical departure into meditation and texture from a voice usually defined by its lyrics.

A profound, wordless stillness that feels like floating in a warm, dark ocean.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the synth pads in track 4 swell into a massive, oceanic wall of sound before receding into a single pulsing tone.
The haunting, wordless vocal layers on track 1 that treat the human voice as a blurred orchestral instrument.
The subtle, rhythmic 'crunch' that emerges mid-way through track 5, providing a grounded contrast to the airy drones.
