The song begins with the sounds of the world: people talking, instruments clanging, mechanical devices, a car starting, walking in stones. The first image shows excess and wants and craving.
The sounds of the world begin to diminish; elements of carnatic music are ascendant: the drone of the tanpura and the vocal gamak, for example.
The sounds of the world have largely gone extinct; a calm human voice states the Four Dharma Seals.
The image of the Buddha appears. The song takes on a full psychill texture simulating movement of the mind through mental space, now detached from the physical world.
The physical manifestation of these mental states might be the swirling and twirling of esoteric spiritual dance practices that don't 'fit' the typical meaning humans navigate in society.
The middle section of the song finishes with a restatement of the Four Dharma Seals. The image of the Buddha changes and they're no longer holding the various tools that are useful to achieve mindfulness. The Buddha sits in Lotus position, peacefully, as the music shifts into an abstract spacemusic. There's no longer a sense of swirling and twirling, but of an expanding consciousness throughout the universe.
I always have a psychill playlist playing in the background and every time an amazing track grabs my attention and I switch to the tab to see what the song is, nine times out of ten it's Ott. They are freaking sublime.
