Listening Diary: Change Not as Much as the Style of a Letter - Bull of Heaven (Day 3)

When I first started up the song today, I was hit by how intense it had gotten. Because of the nature of the song, its hard to really notice these kinds of changes unless you're specifically listening for them.

Today, on the initial few seconds I listened to it, I felt like it was mad. Not at me or anything, just mad. Upset. Intense. There's this kind of pulsing noise that sounds like an electric guitar ran through a shit ton of distortion and drive. The way the guitar pulses in the beginning of Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day is the approximation I have for the way it sounds. Just, way more distorted. The overarching colossal sound that rises and falls has begun to have this sort of bass to it that wasn't there before.

Maybe it's because I forgot to take my adhd meds today and I'm tweaking because of withdrawals, but I did not feel relaxed while listening today. I felt uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally.

Nevertheless, I listened.

Around the 6:30 mark, there seemed to be a mechanical turning sound. Like an old fan or something.

Around the 7 hr mark, its calmed down. The mechanical sound has faded in and out for the past 30 minutes. Its also a bit quieter now. I do hear a new layer in there though, kind of a mid tone.

8 hr mark, mid tone is less noticeable and the singing bowl esque top layer is louder.

My head hurts so I stopped around the 8 hr mark.

8/386 hours, 378 left to go!
