DEEP SLUMBER
Imagine a voyage within yourself, a vivid dream about the past, present and future, a construct of new powerful memories born from beautiful moments of your past and present.This EP serves as a sonic collage, comprising samples from eclectic sources: sample packs, cherished musical influences, and original synths, meticulously arranged to evoke a spectrum of positive emotions - joy, love, exaltation, nostalgia, and curiosity.
Musical Composition: Genre Fusion with Precision
The EP diverges from conventional genre boundaries by seamlessly blending electronica drums, beats, and bass with ambient components such as drones, slow loops, ethereal vocals, and brass loops. This fusion creates a distinctive auditory landscape that challenges traditional categorizations.
"Deep Slumber" transcends its classification as an EP, serving as an auditory odyssey - an exploration of dreams and emotions meticulously articulated through a musical lens, beckoning listeners to traverse the landscapes of introspection.
DEEP WITHIN
Within the eponymous track, "Deep Within," a labyrinth of drum loops intertwines, creating a rich rhythmic tableau. Synths and pads engage in a dance above the percussive foundation, while additional layers of pads and strings act as cohesive elements. On top, bass and vocal loops ebb and flow, creating a dynamic movement throughout the composition.
SLUMBER: Musical Phases of a Dream
"Slumber" unfolds in distinct A-B-A segments, mirroring the cyclical nature of a dream. Part A, marked by an optimistic synth loop, signifies the departure and return from the dream state. Part B delves into the dream itself, characterized by an enigmatic synth oscillating between realms of light and darkness. Syncopated rhythms inject vitality, layered synths and pads weave a sonic tapestry, while brass and vocal loops contribute to the dreamlike ambiance.
SATIE AWAY: Metamorphic Piano Dreams
"Satie Away" revolves around a piano loop played in various modes. Beginning with deconstruction, it evolves into a vibrant piano theme symbolizing metamorphosis. An electro beat, vocal loops, and brass enhance the dreamlike ambiance, keeping the essence of the dream ever-present.
TOTAL REKALL: Rhythmic Reverie
Initially conceived with drums and depitched vocal samples, "Total Rekall" underwent a creative evolution. Syncopated beat elements were introduced atop a straightforward kick pulse, and a melody gradually emerged and burst into a Rhodes theme. The inclusion of effects and arps added complexity, concluding with an organ tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, paying homage to the influential artist's composition, 'Andata.'
