Drawing us in with cosmic vocal ad-libs and a high spiritual quotient, Animus Aura opens Call To The Stars – Winter Version with an ethereal energy and an atmospheric delivery of the lyrics, “Whispering winds, they call my name, through the void, I play the game…”
The opus expands with echoed harmonies and cinematic allure with a brooding bassline, evolving with glitched nuances and pulsating trance adjacency which is dimensional in nature. We appreciate the journey that we are being taken on, and there is no doubt that the composition would be perfect for a future Avatar film or a progressive rave at UNFOLD in London or Refshaleøen in Copenhagen.
The instrumental design is masterful, and the energy that manifests is empowering and cerebral at the same time. We appreciate the metaphorical lyrics and the songs poetic prowess. The vocals are designed perfectly – delicate, celestially aligned, and emotional at the same time.
We learn that Animus Aura is the brainchild of the elusive Danish producer known as Sebastian. The multifaceted artist also runs the independent label Lucid Records. The project serves as his ongoing dedication to the musical exploration of progressive psytrance. The Winter Version of Call To The Stars is intended to transport us to ethereal realms through its enchanting soundscape.
We deeply connect with what Sebastian is creating, particularly the meticulous attention to detail, the cohesive tapestry of sound, passion for innovation, and his hands-on approach. Naturally, we have added Call To The Stars – Winter Version to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Animus Aura, including Dancing Flames, and Electric Mirage.
