"Shards of Memory" opens with this fragile melody that barely holds together, like a music box running out of wind. "Shadow Corridor" goes full dark with reverbed tones that sit heavy in the room. Then "Garden" pulls you back with something almost peaceful, almost warm.

Like background noise you did not realize was affecting your mood. If you ever wanted a soundtrack that makes silence feel loud, this is where you start.
