We have wonderful news, there's a brand new release from gaop!
It's dark, it's jazzy, it's piano-lead dark ambient with sad undertones.
A 47 minute long odyssey with a winter feel to it.
The aforementioned piano is accompanied by metallic percussion, woodwind shrieks and a generally brooding atmosphere created by layered effects. The sound is one of minimalism, but not in an uneventful way.
The release is free to stream on most platforms, but also available for digital purchase on gaop's bandcamp.
This release is another one in gaop's experimental celebrations of post-jazz and post-classical sounds, via a mesmerizing dark ambient, a contrast to his harsh noise releases but not venturing far from "noise" in general, it might be more user friendly, but the color palette is the same. The feedback, the humming drones hiding in the background, those are dead giveaways.
The album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of sounds that delve into the depths of fear and anxiety. With tiny, broken down elements of jazz and modern classical music infused into the atmospheric soundscape, gaop creates a dark sonic journey that really captivates the listener from start to finish.
"Jar of Fears" is a must-listen for anyone who loves immersive and experimental music that takes you on a journey through your own emotions.
