Style: ambient, vaporwave
Primary Emotions/Themes: The shrine of life beckons me, I heed it's call
Thoughts: Slowerpace is a vaporwave artist. I don't normally put those two terms together as many people how practice vaporwave plunder from other artists and add little to nothing themselves. That is not the case with Slowerpace.
Quintessence was my first exposure to this project. It contains five tracks that are largely graceful ambient. The way that the music is created has soft synth pads falling like a morning dew from my speakers. Small pulses create some form of structure, much like a heartbeat would with any living creature. Finally soft melodies are played in this wonderful context to give my mind something to follow as the music washes over me.
I don't know how much of this album is original and how much of it is plundered, but if you played this for me without any context I would say that this is a fine ambient album. By going off of their profile on bandcamp they say that almost everything is plundered. In some regards that's a shame because this is truly excellent. On the other hand the fact that I couldn't notice that this was plundered speaks mounds for how good Slowerpace is at what they do.
