Synth Single Review: “The Crossing” by Timesloth & Atmolifter
by Karl Magi
Timesloth & Atmolifter’s “The Crossing” journeys across pure sonic beauty as calming depth flows like ocean waves and crisp beats bounce. Rising with untethered, misty delicacy, tones play across wide-open space like morning mists. Abiding peace fills a melodic line, drawing images of soft light and thoughtful gentleness while giant bass looms.
Xylophone notes generate a velvet feeling, carrying me on tides of azure motion which breathe out like a steady solar wind. Echoing with meditative melancholy, tonal patterns intertwine above solid beats. Serenity dances from the sailing melody, drawing pictures of an ancient landscape limned in a background glow and billowing synth clouds. Pure passion mixes with abiding relaxation, transmitting a message of traveling through the universe. Pastel sheen covers all of the musical elements as the wind exhales a final time and silence falls.
