When you’re gliding high above the clouds looking out your cockpit window, the world seems so calm. The fluffiness of the clouds distracts you from the flames tickling your tail. The cottony white against the brightest blue is a combination that surfaces floods of feeling. Your eyes would typically tear up; thinking of bygone Indian Summers, floating in the lake on your back, swooping up on the swingset as your stomach falls. You would cry a bit, but the smoke has filled your cockpit. You would cry a bit, but your gliding is done. Your velocity is smashing and the next thing you know you’re onto the unknown.

Speculator sees all this and more. He watches and reflects through his sound. That buzz in your ear is his eavesdropping presence, thick and beautiful. This “sprout session” is just a taste of the damn deep waves he creates. Find more fine, insightful Speculator moments via Leaving Records, Underwater Peoples and his Bandcamper-zone.

This session is part of the DUBLAB Spring 2011 Proton Drive Fundraiser.
