Tony Anderson is a California-based composer and electronic music producer who usually creates catchy and uplifting electronic pop songs, some have appeared on this blog already. This time, Anderson made something different and I love it, Nuit is something a fan of darker electronica should reach for.
The title is French for "night" and it's no coincidence as the artist decided to leave the livelier electronica (like in the great Finding Your Heart) for darker, meditative music, "as if the earth were performing a silent ballet while we all slept". And so the dense electronica with heavier, post-dub, gloomy disco-like sounds dominates the soundscape here but it is usually lightened up by beautiful piano, subtle like night sky's stars but very important as well, as it is the case in the album's fantastic opener in Retour.
This all is enriched by the inclusion of classical instruments (and guest classical artists) that include harp, violin and cello. They too sound dark and very much in the correct place in the correct time. The dark electronica works with them in the best possible way, bringing a twist to "traditional" neoclassicism, just listen to the most ethereal and dreamy composition of the title song Nuit. The artist managed to compile music that sounds like a massive body of water, an ocean that is powerful even when not stormy. No wonder Anderson says "it’s the deepest dive I’ve done in my music to date".
Nuit costs 9.99 USD.
