Listening to the tune 'Resurrections' from Celeste, I was struck by the economy of ideas at play. Each part added to the music over the 9 minute runtime was somehow related to a previous idea connected to a following idea as well, like the music was a giant puzzle made of perfectly interlocking pieces. After analyzing the piece I boiled it down to 3 broad compositional ideas that informed each individual part throughout the tune, and that's what I'm gonna discuss in this video. Hope you like it!
