For my project, I chose to incorporate some strategies I’ve been using to cope with the stress of living a hectic life. About five times a week, I commute to work and always feel like I’m dissociating too much. So instead, I try to glorify and cherish my commutes, as it’s the only real downtime I get to be quiet and have a moment to myself. To illustrate that presentness and grounded nature, I recorded my own ambient track to sort of guide the listener into different parts. For instance, I added a section where I finally arrive at work and everything's chaos, so I added some hard and fast percussion, but I quickly transition back into that peaceful bliss as soon as work nears its end. I wanted the project to be calming and peaceful whilst encouraging others to ground themselves in similar ways.
