sky h1: motion

Belgium's Sky H1 presents Motion. Drawing from a background of widely-varying musical tastes from ambient to grime, her work is an amalgamation of emotive compositions of orchestral Elysian synths, often displaced with sparse percussive elements. Motion is a highly personal endeavor: "It signifies leaving behind a period in my life and stepping into something new." Moving through bleak soundscapes layering vaporous choral synths, ethereal vocals and glassy, lucid tones crafted in complex structures, the record bears moments of melancholy as well as joy. Mastered by Jeremy Cox. Cut to vinyl by Matt Colton. Album of the month at Mixmag.
