Immortal is about forever, it’s about omnipresence, it’s about eternity, and of course, it’s about the concept of immortality itself. The transporting ambient piece from Walter Mmari truly makes the listener ascend to another plane. But it’s not a rapid rise. Rather, the piece takes its time, seamlessly and slowly building its piano dominant arrangement into a more grand level. The string work that seams and blends into the track gives it more impetus, amplifying the already present soothing and sedative energy that the piece exudes. In a way, its rather short and fleeting runtime makes one think about temporality and how impermanent life itself is.
But that’s precisely what Walter is rallying against, he’s crafted an entire piece to introspect into yourself and believe in the immortality of your existence. Each note and string makes you believe that there is a greater purpose and duration beyond our own lifetime.
