Dark Light

Consisting of two instrumental eps, In the Shadow of a Dying Light and In Light of the Dark, the idea for Dark Light emerged during the recording of early drafts of Cease to Desist, the intended debut album of Velvet Dynamite. In the Shadow of a Dying Light is made up of instrumental soundscapes inspired by various composers and how their work has been used in film to support the plot rather than to act solely as a song played over a scene. It began as an early attempt to learn the craft of writing long instrumental pieces that gradually shift in mood and style in order to create a narrative for the listener.
