Here's a short video of a solo Occam, which might provide better context for what to listen to on a grander scale. You can begin to hear resonance shortly after a minute and clear sines just after that. Shortly after sine waves become audible, the pulses of their peaks begin making a kind of polyrhythm with each other. This is a harp but this is achieved even with traditionally monophonic instruments like bassoons and saxophones. The first half of Occam Ocean 2 is structured in such a way to allow the individuals, the instrumental families, and finally the whole orchestra approach this same play with waves - which is why the fun really begins a bit after the 20 min mark on Occam Ocean 2. Here's the review posted previously if you didn't get a chance to read it.

Abstain: I like neither of the two

While i,i is very enjoyable, I'd say it's Bon Iver's worst album yet. And sonically the well is starting to seem a bit dry. Occam Ocean 2 for me.
