From ancient Gelderland and its city of new church, Alex O’Rion rises “Around Us”. A glittering edifice with crisp percussive foundations and bassline shines with melodic intensity. Sonically shifting, motifs echo into the distance with grace and poise, pervading the senses they fill the aural space with ease.
The age of “Envy” is brought into sharp focus with metronomic rhythmic force. Hypnotic and alluring, shakers fill the air with timing and precision while rippling keys add lightness of touch soaked in reverberated reflections and exquisite melancholy. An antidote to base emotion found in pure musical formulation.
“Ukko” reigns from above, the god of the sky unleashes thunderous musical expression. Cavernous bassline patterns rumble across the lower frequencies while resonant effects shatter the sonic
landscape with pulsating white noise swells. Sunlit sonic motifs emerge from the gloom in resplendent fashion to ease the oppression from the skies.
