On “Part A: The Descent,” Spencer and Jon from Earth Altar write: “The Descent is introspective. Taking the metaphor of a journey to the centre of the Earth, we explore and reflect on the time we have spent in this world. A physical movement is conveyed in the song imagery, but the same imagery applies to us writing the song. The introduction, those plodding first few steps to the ending chords, triumphant in their final moments and hanging in the air until at last fading out.“
“Part A: The Descent” is written and performed by Earth Altar
Recorded by Charles Austin at Ocean Floor Studios
Synths by Katie Wayne
Mixed by by Jon Dacey
Masteed by Zack Horvath at ZHollow Studios in Hamilton, ON
