A sonic cloud hovering at a low volume as guitar joins in, seemingly delayed. Retaining composure, sonic intensity increases as a left-panned stream of riffs holds its ground. The instrumentation blends together through reverb but they remain separated. A brief pause and a melody is pursued by a guitar, creating an evolution of structure. Fluid yet soft percussion pushes the other instruments - here vocals are unnecessary to create a full atmosphere. Nor does the song ascend to an explosive climax. Here Russian Circles, in their piece "Campaign", create and instrumental structure that is restrained but coordinated. Thus, it never falls apart - rather, it holds together nicely, all of the instruments in tandem. The work finishes much more quickly than expected, despite being nearly 7 minutes in length.

As hinted at, I will post more than one writing per day for a brief period to bring me up to, on average, a post a day.
