VI.BE

2020 is the latest EP of Belgian producer MICRON. The goal of the artist was to create zero gravity soundscapes that transport the listener into an other world. Using generative techniques as well as guitar recordings, the tracks have a very organic feel. The tracks are influenced by the great's in the ambient genre. The album was released on 10 Januari of 2020.

EQUILIBRIUM is a Transcendent, spacy, emotive 6 min track, based around chords and atmospheres that heal and have a therapeutical effect. other tracks have a more meditative and dronelike nature.

The EP is well received within the international ambient blog-o-sphere:

- PrettyinNoise.de 'pinned' the track on their website.

The Belgian composer uses generative techniques and unique guitar recordings to create completely weightless ambient compositions that feel like being completely suspended in a living liquid sound. These ambient tones and textures are immediately transportive in their delicate grasp to the real world.

This is Micron’s first time here but I’m guessing it won’t be the last. The track is Equilibrium and it’s beatless ambient from his 2020 EP. The track is in a vein that harks back to the organic sounding greats of the early 90s. A bit of Mixmaster Morris here, a dab of Pete Namlook, and a splash of Biosphere there. It’s electronic but quite orchestral in the drone sweep. The aim is to, “create zero gravity soundscapes that transport the listener into an other world.” And that ambition is perfectly realised.

Stijn Vanden Bussche is Micron. And in his latest 4 song EP, the single ‘Equilibrium’ continues the journey of reflection and awe, in that adjustable wrangling of emotions that we often are succumb.

A relief of invigoration is the key to this single, as it propels you in a tantric, slide of outer-bodied pleasure. “The goal” by the artist was “to create zero gravity soundscapes that transport the listener into an other world”.

Mission accomplished.
