being no one

being no one has a strong neo-classical feel, even though its sound is created with synthesizers. It sounds cinematic, but definitely not over the top dramatic.
Snowsleep has deprived his music from any percussive interventions, but the sound he’s achieved is so massive and drifting, that it creates immersive inner rhythms and pulsations without having any rhythmic instrumentation or samples whatsoever. The eight pieces feel interconnected, unified by beautiful and minimalist composition and comprehensive production. Mixing and mastering ambient is among the main tricks of the trade and here those are a main tool for what the album has been set to accomplish. And that will be to totally drown you in a world of isolation, melancholy, self sufficiency and abandonment. And with such grim topics, Snowsleep somehow managed to keep this world as beautiful as it can get.

Written, recorded, mixed and mastered at Snowsleep's homestudio (April - June 2018)
