Moments Worth Listening For

The audible mechanical creak of the piano stool and pedal in the opening of Woven Song

Bonobo's subtle electronic textures merging with the strings on Loom to create a pulsing organic heartbeat

The haunting spoken word sample at the end of Undone that provides a final philosophical weight to the silence
