Experimental Electronic Music
Attached to the singular process of degradation—evoking memory, loss, and the inevitable corruption of time—and looped patterns but brightly coupled to soothing ambient lines and oceanic shimmering sequences which attenuate the ominous purpose and turns it in something dreamlike.
Within Silent Observers, Substak examines humanity’s need for mental escapism from reality’s harshness, seeking self-reliance, connection with nature, and alignment with the inner spiritual cosmos.
