Synth Single Review: “Breakaway Point” by SynthPrincipal

by Karl Magi

SynthPrincipal’s “Breakaway Point” swirls with tiny pinpoints of light above a wider arpeggio which circles slowly as reverent tones are joined by metallic echoes and ticking percussion while a kick drum throbs. Slowly planing synthesizer moves into a melodic pattern which haunts with ghostly memories and warmly nostalgic fulfillment.

A hypnotic theme floats like a dream while the background is flooded with sunlit tones. The main melody is a heady mixture of sweetness and mournful recall, reminding me of a past that never really existed. As the percussion rebounds, a motif full of positivity balanced with a certainty that it was all a dream flows.

The drums drops away and a bright sound trembles as serenity infuses the atmosphere. An arpeggio slowly twirls before the drumbeat returns and the main theme takes on nobility, summoning happiness and a breath of wistful contemplation before the track concludes.
