Above from Arbitrary by Emil Johansen

Developing chords from stabby synths, marks a soft journey to the edge of the exosphere, where few people have ever been. Inspired by the “overview effect”, a psychological state reported by astronauts experiencing a state of awe with self-transcendent qualities while seeing the earth from above, “Above” is an emotive and embracing track with soft piano chords, shuffle-beats, simple melodies and ethereal pads.

Electronic musician and composer Emil Johansen possesses a keen interest in pushing the boundaries of ambient electronica and experimental electronic music. Utilizing a modular synthesizer and a laptop, Johansen explores novel techniques and timbres, producing synthesized sounds and atmospheric compositions that are both captivating and cerebral with a touch of melancholy
