Synth Single Review: “Echoes of the Past” by SEA OF SIGNS
by Karl Magi
SEA OF SIGNS’ “Echoes of the Past” dives deeply into memory. The track starts as echoing notes vibrate with sharp edges. Cymbals sweep, and the percussion becomes a steadily guiding flow as wandering notes flutter above the supporting solidity. Drifting tones slip with wistful memory, glistening like pearlescent orbs, while the rhythmic pulse moves on.
A guitar with ringing tones carries a dreaming melody that glides with opalescent delicacy in a way I find charming. Thoughtful notes flash as wind exhales and fragile arpeggios exude tenderness. The drums drop away while surging bass adds balance, and a gossamer synth introduces a choral quality, moving with graceful relaxation.
The melody that enters is carried on a caressing synth, reflecting a drift through thought and contemplating what has come before with equanimity. The arpeggio revolves like spinning stars above, evoking memory, as the rebounding beat continues to pulsate before the track closes.
