The story behind the song

"Midnight" is an ambient and folktronica song that was built upon an unreleased original track. This foundation was a piece called "Amphora," which was never fully completed by its producer. The song also draws from another recording, "The Fourth State II." It evokes a feeling of quiet contemplation, like a journey through a hushed, expansive soundscape.
