Synth Single Review: “Velaphor” by Echo Wolf

by Karl Magi

Echo Wolf’s “Velaphor” is a breath of tropical night air. Gleaming notes sweep wide, carrying a reflective melody into echoing space. The percussion holds a steady, slightly muffled cadence as the lead synth exhales auroral illumination. A placid, faintly melancholy emotion fills the firefly-like synth drifting above a smooth kick drum. Breathy sounds glide as natural textures bring organic beauty.

The track flows and swirls with grace. The lead synth touches with breezy delicacy while varied percussion throbs beneath. Everything radiates a lush green quality, rich with exotic scents, as the underlayer pulses. Percussion drops away, rain falls and slowly spinning arpeggios drift with tropical calm before the rhythmic heartbeat returns. Computerized notes wash in an undulating tide as clapping percussion shapes the music. The main melody returns with warming emotion, floating like rainforest mist and the track ends in fragile sounds.
