Great minds think alike. I totally hear what you are saying; That's what music is all about; especially electronica. The beauty about electronica is that its' still growing, and the different styles that people are using to make a song (different genre's as Trance, Prog, Breaks, Ambient, D&B, are being mixed together making hybrids).
You USE instruments that cannot be duplicated, or mimicked by a real live air(Flute, horns), or stringed instrument; instead you use raw saw waves, with FX, or galatic sounding snares, etc. etc. That's the beauty about the electronic music age; room for improving, and growth.
See, you called the song 'Divergence', as to show a 'cross roads' in your life. See, when I heard the song, I thought of 'mystery', cuz there were many questions that were 'unanswered' so to speak. It's like watching a movie, or hearing a score, except there's no pictures, but the pictures in your mind. The notes chosen created images in my brain, and I just thought of 'traveling', and 'mystery'.
When a song is made with much emotion like this, sometimes you don't need words to describe the emotions felt. A sound, a certain note scheme/ progression, and etc. I think most artists try to make stories before they compose music, and a majority of them make it 'obvious' by adding lyrics that tell this story. You told this story with sounds, that were chosen through pure emotions. That's what makes music more than art, but expression, which gives the artist his/her self that feeling of euphoria when others understand the messages. Well, I hope I didn't confuse you, cuz I was rambling myself. Later. -Mental

something like a chilled out trancyish breaks track
cuz there is definitely a story/feeling behind the song... i called it 'divergence' because i felt like at that time in my life that i had all these opportunities and different paths i could take, but i was clueless as to which one i should follow and it was really affecting me (some of it had to do with the choice of either staying at my current school or trying to move down to orlando to go to full sail, as well as just a lot of stuff to do with life in general)... i kind of felt like i was at a point of "divergence" if you will. anyway, a lot of stuff has happened in my life since i started writing this a few months ago (and i worked on and off for about 3 months, so there is also a progression in the song that reflects that timespan), and what is so very strange is that now i feel like i have been given a direction (like craziness->point->line, but the line part isn't in divergence). I always try to feel emotion while i am writing, because i think that is truly what music should be about.. conveying emotion or at least evoking it in a listener. a lot of times i sit down to write stuff, but after a while if i dont "feel" it then i just drop it, because of what i believe. that makes me not get a lot done, but i feel good about the stuff i do finish. the song i am working on now, is called "emerge" and its about how now that i have found my 'direction' that i feel like i am emerging from this crazy chaotic time in my life into this new focused period where i will get a lot of cool things done (the line in the craziness->point->line example)... anyway, ill quit rambling and i dont know if that made any sense to you lol, but thats kinda the gist of my thinking/feeling. peace.
There is definitely a hidden power at work in this track, and you are obviously very talented and I look forward to hearing future productions.
