Song Meaning of “AUN40” by Fennesz
This minimalist track by Fennesz has a dreamy atmosphere and a sense of nostalgia, aided by its languid tempo. The song paints a picture of a journey through a vast and unfamiliar land. The title ‘AUN40’ refers to the combination of experience, memory and emotion one feels upon reaching such a place. It suggests a sense of discovery and wonder, as if you are the only one who has ever been there before.
The slow drone of the background noise, alongside the occasional appearance of a distant bell sound creates a feeling of mystery and exploration. As the track progresses, a slow electronic beat with distorted samples joins the mix, adding a sense of urgency to the journey. The beat builds as the track continues, as if it is calling out to the unknown, beckoning the traveller to discover what lies ahead.
The pace of ‘AUN40’ is reflective of the uncertainty and spontaneity of the journey, suggesting a relinquishing of control and faith in destiny. The atmosphere is further amplified by the use of abstract melodies and samples which evoke a feeling of ethereal beauty.
In the end ‘AUN40’ implies a journey into the unknown, a reminder that beautiful and surreal things can be discovered when one embraces the unknown.
