Cassian Voss’ Flat Light was recorded at 2 a.m. in an Edinburgh flat, upright piano, window open, street noise kept inside the track.
Minor Key — The unresolved chord
Ends on a suspended fourth that never resolves. The tension lives within the not-moving.
Window Open — Someone called a name
A voice from the street below that the singer almost knew. The room tone is part of the song.
Evening Chord — Flat light through uncovered windows
Descending chromatic, static melody. Played until the room went grey.
Flat Light is available on the LyricsMirchi archive with full lyrics.
