Hello,
Metaphorically, "Ei N'yawei" is based on a bass/drum concrete limited structure over which dreams and aspirations are hovering. To end in a state where the concrete is gone and only aspirations, or their substance, what gives them life, is left. Or at least their shadow thereof.
In down-to-earth terms, the bass is provided by an acoustic bass guitar complemented by a sub bass synth, over a drum track that is more percussion than drums. At one point in time this is replaced by mostly a frame drum loop and a thinned out acoustic bass guitar. The lead synth of the first part is replaced by a sound that's more in the vein of traditional reed-based instruments, complete with a slight detune.
The title means nothing, it is only the sounds made by the voice of Francesca Genco.
There is also a 'remix' of the same, with percussion sounds further tweaked and all 'played' on a Launchpad mini.
