The Ocean

All links ► https://band.link/DIR_sky The moving atmosphere of ambient is the trapes of emotions that are fulfilled through "Sky" by Dreams in Rooms. The 12-track album reels listeners into a pell-mell of auditory journeys that incorporate lush guitars and floating pads, which place the whole affair in a setting expansive yet strangely intimate. From the first few notes, the listener can tell that Dreams in Rooms has paid an excruciatingly close attention to the minute details in making "Sky," and he has that innate sensibility which allows ambient music to stir the soul. While individually they are self-contained worlds, the compositions for the album are heavy and multi-layered to the point that they conjure an illusion of volume and complexity conducive to re-listenings. Each track is a world in its own right, carefully constructed, yet the album flows perfectly from one into each respective individual world in turn, making the whole into a truly immersive listening experience. One of the major hallmark features across the album is its use of lush guitars. They do more than back up the song melodically, and often the guitars drift in and out of the texture much of the time affected with treatments that blur the line between organic and electronic sound. The guitars are used inventively and add a warmth and an organic quality that serves to ground the ethereal pads in a way that feels comforting, familiar. Another hallmark of the album is the floating pads, which lift the music into the realm of pure ambiance. A soundscape that listeners can become a part of, as the full, flowing harmony from high, clear, and pure to deep and resonant is a giant soundscape of which the listener is part. The pads are most typically evocative of the feeling of floating, with the listener suspended from the worries of the world down below and just drifting above it all. There's a crossroad of emotion in "Sky," with the center of it almost sitting on a knife edge between sadness and positive feeling, between thinking in and expanding out. The album has a meditative quality, encouraging listeners to slow down and reflect, to find peace in the moment. It's music that could fit the stage for a quiet night under the stars; from the time the morning sunrise starts to come out quietly, to the soundtrack of a moment of isolation to seek consolation and clarity. Sonically, Dreams in Rooms brings out clear design and sound mixing. The sound of it is so clear and open; each element is allowed to shine - from the merest whisper of a synth pad to the rich harmonics of the guitars. The balance between electronic and organic elements is being handled just perfect—it does not seem like "Sky" is torn between the two. As a result, "Sky" by Dreams in Rooms is an excellent ambient chillout full-length album which can create an aural sanctuary for a listener. The result is a blend of lush guitars and floating pads, offering something at the same time intimate and expansive, almost inviting one to discover one's own inner landscapes. It's an album where ambient power is seen taking the listener through many dimensions, a power through which one is able to channel infinite experiences and feelings, and something that should be listened to by connoisseurs, novices of the genre, and ambient music lovers in general.
