From the mysterious album THE DARK CITY, Vger delivers an ominous electronic ambiance and track, in the form of the story-telling sci-fi instrumental Approaching The City. This introduction to the project welcomes a state of intrigue and uncertainty, balancing rhythmic synths with warped synth melodies and an eighties progression that’s aptly cinematic.
Soon enough, vocal fragments inject a robotic sense of movement and urgency, as the soundscape continues to gather melodic momentum and power.
Unconfined by the traditional expectations of the modern industry, this project showcases the work of an artist and producer immersed in the storytelling format. The instrumental depths of Approaching The City captivate and compel you to tune in closely. The mood is one of rising anticipation, of equal parts stillness and incoming chaos, and yet woven in alongside this are multiple clear threads of distinct identity – certain tones, effects and melodic twists; all of which makes this a rather unmistakable electronic composition.
Vger has crafted his sonic masterpiece with this release, and the album is well-structured so as to follow the effective building blocks of a journey from searching to excitement to resolve. A fascinating contemporary electronic project, from a French composer with a clear passion and skill for weaving intricate, vast, and purposeful soundscapes.
