Another this week position from Belgium. This time it's a neoclassical gathering of artists under the Echo Collective moniker. Up to this point, the band has been mostly known for their reinterpretation of Amnesiac by Radiohead on classical instruments in 2018 roku. If I understand correctly, they now released their in a way debut, talking about fully independent albums, called The See Within.
Despite the number of people who create their music here that would be enough for playing almost orchestral sounds, the band's music is basically instrumental ambient. There's not a lot of tunes and the artists are mostly focused on generating atmosphere of melancholy, peace and nostalgia. There's the spirit of experimentalism noticeable sometimes in the deluge of bass sounds that overthrow violins, pianos and trumpets. But usually it's the classical instruments with the main roles and they are the most beautiful probably in the touching The Witching Hour.
Unfortunately, The Sea Within is pretty expensive costing 11 EUR!
