 Ahoi!
From a non-musical point of view:

I love music, sound and silence. But I can’t make music, so I respect it more than what I do (visual stuff), yet I don’t listen to music, I see it and I like a piece that would give me a full spectrum of perception.

We perceive space all at once (more or less) space is not linear, and I like that about space, it is more revealing than time. Time is linear, with a direction (a strict one so far ☺). If translated into visual and audio, the space would be the visual and time would be sound. But, space is only noise if one can see.
So this brings me to state the following things:
– Good music or narrative melodies represent appealing space, when I close my eyes I am able to see what happens in that piece. It can be paroxysmal images or a more coherent flow, but without words it brings me to see something from a bird’s eye view.
– I’m going into this narrative, coming from above and zooming in a multifaceted manner. In this piece I can perceive different points of view and that is great. I come at some point at camera level only to part again, only to go below and through the roof at the same time.
– For me, the fewer the words in an audio piece, the better because it pushes me to interpret more and stirs up my imagination more.
– The more obvious space like parts of audio, are the transactions moving from one scene to the other and overlaying on the way back and forth. I find that to work beautifully combined with actual visuals.
Also this piece resembles a dream to me, everything sounding like surrealism has a great advantage.
Another difference in between space and time (visual and audio) is that space although it can be experienced all at once, it is closed, in comparison to audio which is open. That’s why audio works good with the visual part. This piece is open.
Great job.
