Notes: Begins with a dreamy, unsettling ballad featuring sparse instrumentation and soft vocals, transitioning into a long free-form improvisation with abstract, directionless jamming that creates an atmospheric, illusory texture. The low predictability and random-note feel can be disorienting but remains mostly subdued without harsh peaks.
