High Roads by Amorphic Mark

(Submitted as entry for the jam “IMPRESSIONS Composing Jam: Ambience #1”, September 2024, on Itch. io at https://itch.io/jam/impressions-)

A brief atmospheric pièce I jotted down in a bout of inspiration on GarageBand. I wanted to express the spirit of the image prompt shown in the jam page in my own way, but at the same time I got greatly inspired by some of the primordial, almost mystical landscapes you can find up among the highest glaciers of Italian Alps.

Glaciers that unfortunately are slowly thawing away because of climate change. Beside enjoying their spectacular views, in fact, we must do everything we can to stop their decline and preserve them for future generations. They’re water sources and therefore among the most precious natural treasures. And mistreating and wasting treasures is a cruel crime.
