Synth Single Review: “Irrelevant” by Cassetter, Lebedev Sax & Cyberwalker

by Karl Magi

Cassetter, Lebedev Sax & Cyberwalker’s “Irrelevant” moves mournfully through space as percussive weight slows and an echoing voiceover speaks of the irrelevance of time in certain moments. A cosmic wave surfs above the vast pool of sound below while starlit veils shimmer. Impressions of lonely, vast tracts of cosmic darkness permeate the track.

Rising with tremendous power before dissolving into a subtle echo, the synth fades before the saxophone traces lustrous lines, capturing aching feelings in vibrating tones, cascading and slipping like starshine through atmospheric haze. Lebedev Sax creates a transmission of pure feeling, reaching out to fill me with trembling loneliness.

An atmosphere of compassionate understanding for the emptiness in the music fills each element. Delicate tones shiver, painting images of astral beauty, like planets glowing in the endless night. The saxophone cries out, driving home a message of desolation and melancholy. Trickling strings shimmy before the track breathes out into silence.
