Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from rapid-fire arpeggios to slow, heavy chords in the title track.
The way Metamorphosis: II settles into a haunting, three-note descending pattern that feels like a physical weight.
The final, unresolved resonance of the piano strings at the end of Closing.
