Bleep

Checking the influence of Mozart in addition to ambient classics and psychedelic deep house, Sonmi451’s — aka Belgian artist Bernard Zwijzen — Nachtmuziek is an astonishing EP of forward-thinking sounds, caught between pillowy comfort and the agony of longing. The album’s shimmering imagery, from ‘Probe’ to ‘Bay Hatch’ invokes figures floating, lost in space, thinking of a home to which they may never return. Nachtmuziek is a work of profound hope in the face utter hopelessness.
