Paradise by Myles Oliver
'Paradise' is inspired by the idea of a journey to an otherworldly tropical oasis. Each track serves as a kind of portal to this place, where the lush essence of nature blends seamlessly with the technological. The album invites you to close your eyes and surrender to a place both alien and familiar.
In crafting Paradise, I wanted a tapestry of sound that captures the essence of an untamed, surreal jungle environment— where time stands motionless, and the human spirit is free. It’s an exploration of the unknown, and an invitation to explore a world hidden just beneath the surface of our reality, waiting to be revealed.
It is an attempt to both expand and test the boundaries of drum and bass; the album is a confluence rhythms and nuanced jazz-influenced harmonies and atmospheres inspired in large part by the film scores that I love.
The album’s foundation in film score and jazz is the core from which the songs emerged, each coming together in a very organic and natural fashion, with atmosphere and groove being the guiding principle of each. I hope you enjoy Paradise.
