This is such a gentle track, all built around synths. The thing that caught my ear was the way that the chords started, keeping tempo and then all the elements being added in. It’s just two chords but sometimes that’s all you need.
There’s an arpeggiated synth in there that’s quite subtle but then there’s a lead synth that comes in and out, but then it switches to a different tone that is almost like introducing another character to the story.
I like the addition of the drums at 1:30, they’re analogue and very gentle not overpowering at all, and it works well with this track.
Being a fan of composers like Jean Michel Jarre, and synth bands like Pet Shop Boys, Kraftwerk, and Erasure this was up my street. It’s ambient, the kind of music you’d expect to wind down your day to. Given Arten’s background in film composition, you could imagine this being the soundtrack to something like a montage in short form, it’s so pleasant to listen to!
As noted before, Artem Grebenschikov is a composer for short films and social media videos, who simply wants to share his music with the world.
