Moments Worth Listening For

The way 'Opening' transforms from a delicate piano piece into a massive, breathing wall of air on the organ.

The frantic, interlocking arpeggios of 'Rubric' reaching a fever pitch where the organ stops sounding like an instrument and starts sounding like a machine.

The long, decaying tail of the final chord in 'Closing' as it vanishes into the natural reverb of the room.
