AES DANA - Aftermath - 2003

Files under Music | Posted by Bluemind

Ambient/downtempo soundscapes with roots somewhere in trance, very atmospheric and emotive. Conceived as a series of seven logically flowing movements, Aftermath starts out drifting, swelling, dark and ominous; bird song twinkles through the mists and the throb of a bassline builds and is gone. From here on beats well up like tides, crisp and light with thick kicks rising out of oceanic ambient orchestrations and then echoing, fluttering away again. Much of the beauty of Aftermath is in the interplay of cycling motifs (pulsing bass, skittering percussion, shivering arps) and intriguing sonic effects and textures. Fascinating details whisper into our ears, the mood shifting and evolving from one track to the next. The final track is a departure, featuring a piano arrangement of surprising beauty.
