"The second album from Obscure Wave Music, an electro project from the Westhoek. Virtuoso of service is Philip Ryckman from De Panne, who has been intensively involved with music all his life. In short, keyboards, synths and everything that has keys and buttons.
His work is pure electro, many will call it lounge, but that does not do his oeuvre justice. Subtle sounds and soundscapes that contain so much more than a layer of atmosphere and a fruity loop beat. This is work in which you can recognize his examples and inspirations. Just think of Klaus Schulze, Gin Rosé, Tangerine Dream, Pat Metheny, early Yes, Pete Namlook and even a pinch of Orb or a soft Aphex Twin. Well thought-out structures that may be too technical for some. One song is more atmospheric and ethereal than the other. Sometimes there is a catchy beat, sometimes you dream away. This would fit right in on Klaus Schulze's old label IC Digit music, for those old enough to remember it.
The first album Equilibrium was released in December 2017 and was slightly quieter. Synthrospection is slightly more complex, a sound that sounds a bit fuller and has more beats.
Your ideal companion to accompany you on a nighttime drive, an atmospheric evening on the couch with a good book and a glass of wine, a fashion show, art project, music in your shop or simply to enjoy.
Don't be fooled by the name Obscure Wave Music, it is not Wave in the sense of Darkwave or New Wave, more Wave as in cosmic wave music."
