As I went to bed last night after creating the loud cataclysm, I couldn't get it out of my head. After a while, though I realised I had it in my head wrong - the rhythm was different. Better somehow. With an extra beat.
So of course today I had to see if it really was better. I went through the whole thing adding an extra beat to the drums, and stabby bits of brass, in fact through most of it. Actually I left one section unaltered for subtle contrast.
I had been wondering what to do for a still small voice, I was wondering about a mellotron backing with similarities to the air section in 1.1.2. I also had a little tune in slow 7/4 I wanted to try. Actually I wanted to get it recorded before I forgot it, and so used one of the sounds I had used for beefing out the orchestral stuff in the cataclysm. It turned out when used quietly and higher it was gentle and mysterious, so I used it. Like many things I am not totally sure of it yet so I will let it marinade.
As I have been writing this though I have listened to it a couple of times and I'm pretty convinced right now that I have achieved the desired effect overall.
