Jasper De Ceuster’s “Polaris” expands in a cosmic flow, drifting like a solar wind and exhaling with a peaceful sigh before a pattern of undulating synth adds a sharpness before a loping drum beat comes in.
Patterned synth surges, borne on celestial winds, before unevenly moving drums create uncertainty as starry, digitized tones float in the firmament and transport my mind with them. Astral ambience is interrupted by rougher sounds before a prismatic glow spills from a stuttering melodic pattern, shifting with a disrupted sensation.
The track is overlaid by polished notes that move into a theme which reflects outer space’s intense beauty, brushing over my ears with airy sensations that touch me with their tenderness. The beat grows more subtle as revolving notes spin like the arms of a galaxy, twinkling in the vastness of space as a soft breath of sound carries the song to an end.
