        "description" : "Water. Tides. The ocean slowly and imperceptibly coming again and again to the shore, bringing light waves over time. Welcome to the new Snowsleep ambient composition.\n\nTides consists of three parts, the three tides. Each of these parts is somewhat similar to the other and at the same time has its own personality. In one part you can hear elements of Post-Rock, another the sound of Pink Floyd's 80s period and in the third audible elements of modern electronic music.\n\nThroughout the listener experiences a warm sound, and as Tides finally ends it leaves us to contemplate the distant expanses of the ocean and the hope that we will once again return.",
