A fascinating song.
It creates a very good sound environment.

Description
This track was composed with Ableton Suite 11. I used samples from household items as well as Ableton stock instruments and plugins, and Native Instruments plugins. The genre is ambient / electronic I think?
Theme
Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)
How does it fit the theme?
Beyond the question of extraterrestrial existence, there is in the idea of panspermia that of a contamination which inhabits us and builds us, which would be our origin. Of the collection of unknown "seeds" that constitute us. It is a disturbing idea. But by accepting this aspect, we can also understand that we are both hosts and vessels of this exchange. There is within us the capacity to welcome and transmit, if we want to. I have tried to reconstruct this slightly disturbing, slightly sweet feeling of invasion. This feeling of strangeness always on the back burner in each of us. The title goes in this direction and evokes the necessary sheds to move forward (like snakes...). My native language isn't English, so apologies for any mistakes!

Everything about this composition is lush. It is expansive but earthbound, and its textures are very contemporary. At times, the soundscape feels dissonant and dense, but it always pulls through with a diverse array of auxiliary effects and samples. Some of the melodic features almost get lost where they might otherwise be highlighted, but perhaps future mixes will expand upon them further. I gave this Five Stars in Quality and Impression, though I would love to hear more.
