Synth Single Review: “Genesis” by SkelOne

by Karl Magi

SkelOne’s “Genesis” is rich with images of dark alleyways and phosphorescent streetlights. The track comes to life as earthy bass moves with laser-bright notes that interlock into a blurring rush while snapping percussion cuts in. The beat leaps forward and ferocious arpeggios circle jaggedly. Dramatic darkness permeates the music, conjuring a cyberpunk city full of lethal beauty as the rhythmic pulse charges ahead.

Towering notes move with entangling strings, adding peril and tension. The drums drop away as a reverberant synth glows with urban incandescence, finger-snapping percussion drifting past. Smoothly gliding tones evoke late-night drives through decaying streets. The beat accelerates again and the main melody flies with galvanic strength, racing through neon-lit shadows before the underpinnings soften and twanging tones levitate with hushed, peaceful sensations as silence falls.
