  1. This soundscape differs from many of the rest I have listened to, nearly because it mixes the piano balad with a light nature effect of the ocean. There in engaged the audience to become more inquisitive with thought process throughout the sequencing layers of the soundscape. The manipulation of space is relevant in the beginning of the track. As the piano ballad continues the waves in the background seem to become louder and louder as the track digs further and further into the mind of the listener. As a deep oceanic effects compliment the piano ballad the ballad gives off the essence of a horror film. The tension keeps building up yet nothing seems to occur because the piano just keeps playing as if there was nothing to happen in the first place. Gestalts principles are represented also through out the track through the similar grand piano structures that are used within the process, such as the illusion of a beach and gentleness of the quality of the sound. The piano and the waves do not contrast each other because each of the depicted sounds are soft and temperate sounds that do not give off strong emotional depictions in the soundscape.
