Ambient music can mean many things to many people. Packed to the brim with emotion or devoid of and calming as Eno coined many years ago when describing his seminal release. In either format, the genre has a restorative effect, to give one space for thoughts that swirl in time with the ebbs and flows of the music. Our premiere for today comes via Dutch producer, Will Oirson and his track ‘Escapism’.

Immediately greeted by the sounds of bell-like jingles, rasps and shuffles, Escapism feels rooted in a time and place. A soft elongated synth note slowly starts to rise in prominence, joined by a chorus of otherworldly voices giving an emotional charge. Periodically  there comes a beat, bringing movement and progression through the remainder of the track as the melodies swell and resolve.

Escapism will be released September 19th on Will’s own label, The Something Something.
