This track, says its creator (the Sweden-based producer, statika), was inspired by late night walks. You can tell. There's the sense that the world is both ending and full of potential all at once in 'silently running', a stretched-out looming feel that has you caught in the air, outside looking in, the cool night wrapped around you. The textures throughout, gleaming as they are gritty, call to mind glowing streetlights and the distant weighted gravel hum of sporadic city traffic.
"I used to make ambient pieces by slowing down tapes with cassette records, but I no longer have them with me," says statika, "so I attempted to replicate the process with a computer." The result sounds analogue enough, right down to the white noise that bookends track's distorted plumes of sound. We have a piece of ambient music here that brims with as much nocturnal atmosphere as it does summon the nostalgia-tinged sonic aesthetics of vaporwave, encapsulating a stopped-in-time emotion of an early-hours walk.
