ARTIST: Melankolia
Title: Solitude under a Forlorn Sky
Artist Country: USA
Genre: NeoClassical/Ambient
"Created with the intent to capture the fragility of hope in the midst of the clouds of life's realities"
Ive never done this before with a standard length track, but this morning, the nimble-fingered Mike O'Brien released this, his very first official single release. This track features a very palpable sense of nostalgia that I am beginning to realize is this young mans top strength.
A very touching song, this stretch of solitude is a very endearing mixture of some very fine ambient textures with the majority of the track being a rich, but sublime canvasing of NeoClassical elements. The use of the word "cinematic" might feel a bit heavy-handed at first, but one simply can not help but reveling on a mental-shore of tender memories and slow-motion fantasy as each slow-lapping of synth, every little trickle that is a piano note, and all the lovingly composed phrases stretched over each other.
Not much else can be said other than this song has made my cloudy, winter morning. And I will gladly let it make the rest of my day. Available for free download right now:
