Synth Single Review: “Exit Velocity” by SynthPrincipal
by Karl Magi
SynthPrincipal’s “Exit Velocity” spreads out from a delicate beginning to slowly expand with serene ripples and a breezy flow that is shaped by steadily guiding rhythms before the full drum beat pushes forward. The background radiates pink light, calling to mind a slowly rising dawn, while interlocking notes in the distance create a rich sonic tapestry.
Extended synth tones reflect golden light as they carry a nostalgically wistful melody while spinning patterns add an opalescent sheen, undulating and giving the music an uplifting quality. Barely perceptible percussion taps into open space as the peaceful flow wanders, like a wind blowing across a beautiful landscape.
The beat propels while a melodic pattern fills my mind with images of freedom, touched by a hint of aching emotion, somewhere between loss and acceptance. The contrasting dance of the arpeggiation adds warmth before the track ends.
