Small Scale Collisions – Deploy Face Parachutes

Indistinct voices fade in, and along with them distorted guitar is played with a delay pedal with taps that don’t fade out very fast that allows it to harmonize with itself, creating a jumble of sound that isn’t completely without time signature due to the delay. There is a droning bass as well, filling out the bottom end. The voices fade out, and later come back in as the guitar explores similar–but not the same–manners of playing.

A synth with a flubbing effect plays after a while, and a hi-hat can be heard incessantly repeating. A synthesizer comes in, and as the guitar fades out the voices are mangled by some effect that is indiscernible. A drum machine begins playing with a whipping bass line, and eventually changes in tone. The guitars come fading in again over the electronic music that the song has come to be. The drums drop out, and only the whipping bass line can be heard, as the guitars play chaotically. A subtle chord progression can be heard, and a simple two note melody repeats.

The guitars come back a bit, then a little bit more. They fade out, and then all that can be heard is the whipping bass line, the drums, and perhaps a distorted bass. Something resembling a guitar solo starts to play, not as chaotically as the previous parts, but still quite chaotically. Some machine-like noise comes in, threatening to overtake all of the other sounds in the mix, but the sound remains mostly discernible. The guitar plays a solo again, using the whammy bar quite a bit. Then a long power-chord plays, and the guitar fades out, and the drum machine breaks down into just cymbals, and some resonant harsh noise plays as another power-chord can be heard. The noise dies down a bit, revealing a guitar which was hidden in the mix as the resonance still makes itself known, but has died down a bit. Voices can be heard as the guitar notes fade out, and then the voices cease, ending the release.
