Style: ambient
Primary Emotions/Themes: a singular light throughout the darkness, is it hope or the end?
Thoughts: Ambient music has become one of my favorite genres over the past few years. I have always had a couple of albums in my collection, but ever since the pandemic I've started getting more into the genre.
Jason Van Wyk is one of the first artists I branched out into. The cover of Threads was striking to me and it drew my curiosity for the album. When I finally did give it a listen, what greeted me was a drone oriented album that had brief moments of melody throughout.
In many ways it felt like the album was a chronicle of a space craft floating through the universe, passing by clusters of stars and planets. Those small clusters would be the melody, and the vastness of space represented by the greater droning portions of the album. It's quite the journey, and one that I do believe I will partake in again.
