London-based composer and producer Darren Sng latest piece Artificial Thyroarytenoids is a mesmerizing and ethereal piece of ambient electronic music that’s almost caked and swathed in melancholy. The morose and sombre energy that Sng is able to create with such minimalist textures and soundscapes is downright transcendent. With a hauntingly and effervescent texture, the song starts to elevate you, as you feel that you’re simply gliding in space that’s surreal and fantastical. It’s loaded with intrigue, having you entirely bewitched by the orchestral environment that Sng evokes. The harmonies are deceptively simple, loaded with intricacies that leave you brooding and enchanted.
It feels dystopian, it feels like fantasy. An ambient electronic energy that has you conceptually bewildered and emotionally exhilarated. You feel so innately intrigued and confused that you can’t help but play it on a seamless loop to understand every ounce of the track’s various oddities and intricacies. A hauntingly beautiful piece.
