Volume and space required to capture the brilliance of this one – high-quality headphones or speakers let the ambient and melodic, rhythmic embrace of NC’s latest instrumental masterpiece connect in a blissful fashion.
Aptly-titled The Space Between, this track welcomes us into a superbly atmospheric realm of equal parts depth and lightness. Intricate sounds and samples pan through the mix, vocals whispering suggestions of direction for your mind; essentially a call to free yourself from the chaos of the world. Then we enter the groove, a melodic and colourful, ethereal realm – a strong beat but mellow and non-intrusive.
At less than four minutes in full, there’s precision to be appreciated here – the waves of familiarity and vastness alike that rain down as The Space Between fills the room are incomparable. There’s a delicacy and a profoundness to it all, a comforting aspect to the descending and rising melodies, and a provocative sense of the unknown to the humble crackle of distance and unrelenting space.
Beautifully crafted, with hints of guitar and organic sound-play intertwined with the usual ambient and dance-driven layers of bass and rhythm. NC creates the perfect audio experience with this track, and it’s a rewarding and uplifting pleasure to lose yourself within The Space Between.
