Creatively shaking the foundations of modern composition, David Ratmoko presents the deep ambient synths and Baroque electronic arpeggios of Prelude One – an iconic redirection with an unpredictable shift towards trap rhythms and darker, cinematic sound-design as things progress.
An electronic composer already carving out an unmissable lane in 2024, David Ratmoko is becoming renowned for his dramatic and enchanting, hypnotic and unlimited approach to neo-classical production. His work so far has proven boldly eclectic yet always well-rooted amidst these cascading layers of melody and power, and Prelude One is perhaps the most engaging example of precisely that strength.
Unconfined by expectation, David Ratmoko’s contemporary works bring through the complexity of timeless classical composition, by way of the more relevant modern-day tones of electronica and synth-wave. In the case of Prelude One, the use of the trap beat helps enhance the mellow pace, and increases the weight and darkness of this haunting, unignorable arpeggiated progression.
As we approach the highly-anticipated release of his first two studio albums – The Preludes and The Adagios, Prelude One reminds us with charm, talent, and gusto, of the sheer depth and immersive intricacy of David’s unmistakable style. The classically trained pianist and guitarist achieves new levels of creative expression and freedom, and in the process connects with music fans across the ages, through his transformative and fiercely imaginative compositions.
