Freely creative artist Vger openly intertwines the depth of cinematic sound design with storytelling and musicianship that’s equally intent on providing a bold sense of other-worldly escapism.
His brand new album The Secret of Time begins with a fine example of this unique approach, The Time Machine proving both immersive and unpredictable by nature, blending industrial and melodic layers throughout a fast-paced instrumental arena of sound that consistently raises the pulse.
The project continues in this way, spoken fragments of voice meeting with electro-retro programmed layers and equal parts intensity and ethereal intrigue. The concept of time is forever represented, from Life is a Counter through The Clock Repairer, the project continuing to provoke and compel listeners to ponder more deeply on the topic.
The Cesium Law is perhaps a distinct highlight for its EDM-synths and euphoric, dreamy presence, but so too is the boldly evocative closing ballad The Secret of Time – except this one for a completely different set of reasons.
Conceptually exploring the concept of time and how some people appear able to slow down its effects, this album by Vger delves into the possibility of freeing oneself from the constraints of time – offering soundscapes designed to mystify but also remind us to embrace the past as much so as the future.
