Artificial
New Amsterdam, 2025
9/10
The Brooklyn artist Daniel Wohl brings his inimitable, sonic vision to this part organic, part digital track that enlists Alarm Will Sound.
The 9+ minute track opens with strong attention to mood, as Alarm Will Sound contribute precise strings, adventurous winds and well timed brass. Wohl’s melodic synth presence won’t go unnoticed either, as the electronic textures are filled with warmth, wonder and dreamy reverb.
Wohl equates this work with walking through a virtual forest via a skewed reality, where birds and branches might be real or imagined, and it takes the listener on an enlightening journey.
Travels well with: Adam Tendler- Inheritances; Travis LaPlante & JACK Quartet- Strings Quartets
