I'll see your shrill, torturous strings with a new release from Merlin:

Voicings relegated to the back of my mind auto-hallucinate music not in the style, but in the mood of Pärt. There is no particular melody or theme but instead simply, and non-specifically, a feeling. If pressed to denotationally represent the experience, I would find the direct translation to tintinnabuli <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintinnabuli>, to arpeggiated tonic triads, and counter-stepwise diatonic motion. Such a representation, however, would be secondary to the actual experience, to the experience of wistful longing, endless expanses; the intensity of all-consuming and stoic loneliness. What is this that I produce?
