'Making angels out of ash'

First up, let me express my deepest apologies for not posting in like 10 days. The start of uni has been really hectic and i've only just really been able to get my shit together. So hopefully things will be more regular from now on.

I THINK WE SHOULD SEE OTHER DIMENSIONS

This name made me laugh a lot so of course i had to review this guy. The name is also, in a way, reflective of the kind of music he actually creates. Not tied down by specific style, genre etc this music is generally pretty exciting and keps you on your toes.
If you read the description this guy's written about himself, you'll see that even he has lited different genres and sub-genres his music fits into, and with 35 tracks to choose from in his massive playlist, you're sure to find something to like. 


Now in past reviews i've brought up this transitions of genre as more of a problem than an example of good diversity, but i'm afraid i'm gonna have to swallow my words here as i can really only find good in what this guy is trying to do. Again from reading his description, you'll see he says he started writing music as a means of breaking his insomnia, and honestly 90% of these tracks have that calm, ambient feeling dotted around with electronic synths and drum machines. Then suddenly you reach a track like 'A clever kill' and things get very interesting. This track is full of so many different electronic and traditional mediums it comes across initially as a bit of a head fuck. But at the same time, it's a really nice track to listen to, especially when it calms down towards the end then builds again into something that's actually pretty special to listen to.
Moving down the list to a track like 'God is in the rain' brings us back to this soft, ambient kind of song that begins to softly you'll honestly be unsure whether you're listening to anything at all. And really in some respects you're not. A track like this doesn't have a fixed melody, or even a regular time signature. A lot of the time, it's just random sounds which despite the obvious feeling of 'wait, this isn't music' is actually quite nice to listen to. It kind of clears the mind. In fact i'm pretty sure this is what i'll be listening to as i study late at night.


So while there are some really nice tracks in there, as well as some more lively upbeat stuff as a nice change from the ambient norm, this guy creates actually does manage to create a sense of sleep and calmness with all his music, which really fulfills what he originally set out to do. And that's never a bad thing
