Szary describes the idea behind Moderat as, »imagin[ing] yourself sitting in the cinema and watching a movie with an incredible soundtrack. This is true with Moderat in general, but III in particular pairs an emotional pull with sensual imagery, creating dynamic sound and depth with lyrics such as »the calming scent of lavender fills the air,« or »burning bridges light my way.« You’d have to ask them whether they’re intending to manipulate the listener in the same way that John Williams or Hans Zimmer might with traditional orchestras.
