Nebula

The lead single from Will, a solo piece built on a Moog Mother-32.
Julianna Barwick, from Will (2016)

"Nebula" is track two on Will, 5:34, and was the lead single, announced with the album on March 8, 2016 through NPR. It is a solo track with no guests. Disquiet described it as built on a Moog Mother-32: it opens with a drone and a scale moving up and down, with soft synth pads beneath and breathy looped vocals, a folktronic canon. A search summary of the NPR piece says she described the sound as celestial, which led to the name; we could not verify that on the page.

The video was directed by Derrick Belcham and shot at the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. Setlist.fm lists six performances of the song, tied with "Big Hollow", "Look Into Your Own Mind", "Oh, Memory", "St. Apolonia" and "The Magic Place". The 2016 tour for Will began on April 1 at the Slingshot Festival in Athens, Georgia. We found no chart entry, no covers and no evidence of which version our upload is.
