Synth Single Review: “Riviera” by GammaFlow & Sandor Gavin

by Karl Magi

GammaFlow & Sandor Gavin’s “Riviera” creates a dazzling atmosphere, full of coruscating sounds which spill like opalescent silk from a synth ringing with chiming softness before the solid rhythm pulses like a heartbeat. Misty tones move behind the clean, metallic synth carrying a melody which conjures an image of gliding over clear water in Mediterranean warmth.

Each auditory element deepens the luxurious feeling which permeates this track. Tones like gentle breezes eddy around an effulgent note pattern that breathes with serenity and a feeling of release from stress, lifting me far above ordinary considerations.

Like a wash of effervescent champagne, sparkling sounds mix with the guitar as it drifts in a polished line, full of summer relaxation and the rhythm adds form. Piano-like notes with additional flickering brightness are curled around a synthesizer that moves with levitating lightness to transport the balmy melody before the track exhales to a close.
