Bleep

Berlin-based producer Natureboy Flako scores his very own, updated version of plant music à la Mort Garson’s Plantasia or Haruomi Hosono’s 1980s ambient excursions with the dense overgrowth of synthesised bucolic sonics on Ambitious Of Beauty. Utilising a warm blending of dappled analogue sounds and his own digitally-manipulated voice, Flako crafts biospheres of wandering, curious tunes that incorporate circling thumb pianos and twinkling keys, an approach put to great effect on the gentle, dancing rhythm of ‘Silver Forest Spirits’. A steady, jazz-trained hand runs throughout the natural world of Ambitious Of Beauty, marking Flako out as a genre-mixing genius.
