Pieces Form the Whole
This is the original version. It begins with a pulsating bass drone, which is joined by an electric piano motif and percussive elements. The bass drone gives way to atmospheric pads beneath the other elements, soon joined by a prominent lo-fi keyboard melody and a synthesized counter-melody with the return of the drone. Giving away a second, more gradual time, layers of drones build back up to welcome in the bass pulse, keyboard melodies, and percussion. Eventually, these elements fade down beneath the drone layers, which then fade out as well.
