I wanted to generate a sense of slow rotation, and of things receding.
I placed one rhythm piano in the centre of the mix.
I then panned six different piano tracks from left to right, each track being programmed to randomly trigger clips of either music or silence. In particular, one minor scale melody was pushed far into the left of the mix, while an eastern sounding melody was pushed far into the right of the mix.
Two different delays patterns were panned left (5 repeats) and right (3 repeats).
The drums were slowly moved around the centre of the mix to generate a sense of spatial rotation.
From bar 53, the master channel employs a “Frozen Smear” plug-in to send things off into the distance.
“Night’s candles are burnt out” (sunlight has extinguished the stars) is from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
