Son Of Abyss is a project with intimate elements and aspects. Among other things, we would like people to grasp the beauty and importance of remembering themselves, imbued with the entire emotional spectrum that they often carry like a bundle that doesn't belong to them. However, since everyone's perception and processing differs, everyone will interpret in their own way what they observe, listen and feel. -Abisso
The individual instruments are playing their respective parts, but I wanted the listener to move between snippets of those parts without really noticing. Ringo Harrison
Titled "Afterglow", the new album comes as a collection of chillout electronic songs with one main theme, and that is offering a deep musical relaxation.
Lone nighttime, followed by equally lonely daytime with an unusual quantity of stillness that felt new back when it all started, and still feels alien now. In the middle of this altered universe resides an artist named The Velvet Shadow, and he has taken the still ambience around him, combined it with the thoughts of a lonely being and turned them into music.
"I was really inspired by composers such as Nils Frahm and Hania Rani. Both composers give so much life to the piano, and it's taught me to listen to piano music much differently. I think some of that influence can be heard on some tracks on this EP, but it's also very much authentic to my own sound too. I have a background in writing cinematic music for advertisements, trailers, commercials, etc...., so I think there is that undertone that probably separates my work from others. While this album feels experimental, I've been told my close friends and family that it also sounds like something that could be part of a movie score as well." Grant Borland
"Last year I hit a bit of a creative wall where I was struggling to find inspiration and fresh ideas. There are some palm trees at the bottom of my garden that I see everyday, so I sat in my studio space one morning and decided to just start composing a track about the palm trees. Calm Palm is the result, and a purple patch of creativity followed suit. Michael Donoghue
“I enjoy listening to Terence McKenna’s lectures and also appreciate what his brother, Dennis, is doing to bring awareness to the medical benefits of psychedelics. I also have a deep love for psychedelic music.
"Purple" might become your favorite color after listening to this track. With a chilled landscape and reverberating guitars, this track is perfectly suited for a long-ride or an inner-experience while meditating. It has both electronic sounds as well as analog, a mix of wobbling synths with real instruments.
The album is titled "Universal Outsider", a shimmering folk rock beauty that's been in the works for the last 5 years. Home to 13 small universes, each song offers a multidimensional sonic landscape, and a different story told through poetic lyricism.
The excellent song starts with four seconds of great singing, and then the music drops into the track like a Midwest tornado forming in the sky, grabbing your complete attention.
