anthéne - maritime (2021)

Brad Deschamps, a well-established ambient artist and curator of Polar Seas Recordings, released a fantastic album last November (curiously, through the Ambientologist label). And maritime catches attention with the subtle but ever-changing soundscapes that rush the audience into a dreamy trance.

Mastered by Ian Hawgood, the album is said to be unique for the artist as it "shift[s] from his usual expansive, time-stretching soundscapes" into "something altogether more grounded, more focused". The tracks don't feel particularly rushed, they present well-developed, delicately noisy soundscapes that seem to represent an open gate to the land of dreaming. Melancholic drones and peaceful mood really feel like invitation to a trance. Perhaps one less comfortable composition the audience can find in what the night will bring with its slightly more danger-sounding vibes in the synthy backgrounds, but maybe it's just autosuggestion.
