ながい (Pronounced "Nagai") means "Long Distance" in Japanese.

This is another track started on my lunch ½ Hour at work & finished tonight when I got home after work. Might have gone overboard with the HG Fortune Swamp VSTi's (the Swamp, Swamp XT, & the Ultra Swamp all combine to create the background ambience). Over this swampy soup, I added a Heterophonic Melody played by both a Ban-di & a Koto (both played by DSK's Asian DreamZ VSTi). Finally, I added the Taiko Drums (I might love their sound almost as much as @arcane does 😆 ) c/o Sound Sample's Taiko Drums VSTi (a new VSTi I just downloaded & plan on experimenting more with in the future) . So yeah, this is the first time in a long time that I have created a song in Buzz exclusively using VSTi's as sound sources. The upside is, the VSTi's I'm using on this track are fairly efficient when it comes to computer resources, according to Buzz's built-in CPU Monitor function, which usually ins't the case compared with Native Buzz Machines. So that's a win.

On to the next…

Great headphone intro.
I'm loving the demented string section warming up here.
This is really atmospheric.
Interesting to have the squiggly bit slithering around on top of the otherwise rather solemn and serious track, adding a bit of SF vibe.
Nice.

That drone is superb! With the melodic work and the drums, you're deploying a solemnity that would be worthy of the most epic sci-fi Samurai movie ever made.
Taiko drums are awesome, indeed. Yours have an exquisite chaotic feel, as if they were the echo of some divine power.
Terrific piece, I love it!

Those drums hit hard and well with the sense of foreboding in here, this has a dark feeling of exploring an abandoned facility.

Awesome sounds and quality @candle! The title fits as I open my imagination to the imagery that is coming my way and see something with an endless duration generated from the musical power coming out of this one. Real good. Enjoyed hearing.
