Norvik :: Messages to No One (Self-Released)

The warm and detached contemplative vibes (mainly built around the piano) are sometimes interrupted by sinuous abstract drone textures and flexible organic moves.

This project coming from Hong Kong is surfing on the post-classical ambient music wave institutionalized by Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Roedelius. and newly approached or revitalized by the alluring sound impressionism of Bing & Ruth orDustin O’Halloran. Consequently, classical goes instrumental pop with a load of sweetly moving, delicate easy listening piano tones draped in minimal ambient sketches. Certainly that the whole modern classical sub-genre has recently reached its peak of notoriety, near falling in vain stereotypes. However I maintain that this music still offers pleasant and unobtrusive soundscapes for your meditative thoughtful time, a bit functional too. Norvik demonstrates a nice ability and skills to draw musical lines surrounded by a fragile sense of poetry. The warm and detached contemplative vibes (mainly built around the piano) are sometimes interrupted by sinuous abstract drone textures and flexible organic moves. Messages to No One, as a result, is very well executed and is a resolutely intimate music trip which admits a penchant for piano narratives.

Message to No One is self-released on Bandcamp.
