Synth Single Review: “Aurora” by LightSource

by Karl Magi

LightSource’s “Aurora” explores the wonder of the Northern Lights. The track begins as a sleek, expansive synth carries a melody that exudes soft light, flickering like variegated luminosity in the northern sky. A vast drum beat creates a shaping influence while the synth adds a smooth sheen, dancing like the patterns of cosmic fire that paint the northern skies.

The main synth creates a sense of awe within me as it conjures auroral brilliance. Elevated tones drift through the music, swelling like the emeralds and indigos that permeate the Aurora Borealis. As the drum beat drops away, entangled notes blaze like the upper atmosphere lit up by the bombardment of charged particles.

The melody is full of immemorial beauty and power while drums burst in gigantic pulses as the elevated notes descend, spilling out magenta and verdigris like a tapestry across the sky as drums rebound with colossal influence. The main melody flows in waves of vibrant energy, floating above the richness below it before the massive bass pulse carries the track to an end.
