North Sea is renewed with musically rich and engaging synthedelic experiences surrounded by sci-fi dystopian conceptual backgrounds and ecological-minded aspirations.
Enthralling cinematic elements and melodious storytelling
North Sea is the new musical expedition of sound artists and electronic wizards Wolfgang Worpenberg (w-berg) and Derrick Stembridge (Drifting in Silence). Along the years and respective musical path these two artists have developed with fervor, sensitivity, and delicacy—crafting an important catalog of evocative soundscapes with roots in Berlin school of electronic music as well as in modern space ambient with a rhythmical edge. In those respective sub-genres readers of Igloo are quite familiar with, such projects are always engaging. North Sea is renewed with musically rich and engaging synthedelic experiences surrounded by sci-fi dystopian conceptual backgrounds and ecological-minded aspirations.
North Sea embraces these musical ingredients—exposed in previous releases—with an emphasis on enthralling cinematic elements and melodious storytelling. The aim is to transport the listener in emotive imaginary worlds dominated by tense, abstract, and light, colorful, shadowed, and hopeful situations. The music resonates in deep space with an arsenal of smooth synthetic waves and electronic-driven patterns and hypnotic pulses. The compositional quality and elaborated sound design with its retro-ish feeling can definitely catch the attention of lovers of Berlin school and its heritage, notably from textural spacey ambient-ish artisans such as Radio Massacre Internationale, Delirium, Spacetime Continuum, Martin Nonstatic, Erik Wøllo, and Martin Stürtzer.
North Sea is available on Labile. [Bandcamp]
