Shoegaze
Distortion isn't noise — it's the exact volume of the feeling.
Shoegaze is a style from the Fog and Nostalgia family. 100 BPM, Weirdness 42, Style Influence 96.
Walls of guitar drowned in reverb and a voice floating buried in the haze. Shoegaze is the overwhelming beauty of longing, a soft wall of noise that dissolves you completely.

Sample excerpt
I could not tell your face from the light, the room kept folding over what you said. Something enormous happened very quietly and I stayed there until it turned to blue.
Wash over me, wash over me, I do not need the words to reach the end. If this is drowning then I have been wrong about which things were meant to save my life.
Workshop note — En inglés porque el chip lo pide. Las vocales largas —over, blue, drowning— sostienen el reverb. Nada de consonantes duras: en el shoegaze la voz es un instrumento más y la letra debe poder perderse sin que se rompa la canción.
