Approaching ‘Light, Remembered’, keen listeners will likely temporarily lose their sense of self, transcending into a hypnotic state of consciousness, a meditative and relaxing aural dimension that’s incredibly tender and welcoming. That’s the exact effect that the album had on us. Penned by Nashville-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam Bokesch, the record moves with gentle flair and cathartic allure, layering limitless cinematic textures with feathering piano tones, all then soaked into evocative harmonies and poignant melodies.
What more could you wish for? Well, how about an overarching lyrical theme? Of course, the album is entirely instrumental, yet Bokesch confidently explores a specific topic, remembering his personal experience with sleep issues and insomnia. That’s perhaps why the album is so atmospheric and immersive, a quality that’s also enhanced by the record’s Dolby Atmos mix.
Delving deeper into the album, Adam explains: “This project reflects my own cycles of sleeplessness and inspiration. It’s about slowing down in a world that rarely allows it, and finding art, reflection, and healing in the liminal space between waking and dreaming.” It’s safe to say that the American creative struck sonic gold on this occasion, with ‘Light, Remembered’ set to conquer even the most apathetic of listeners out there.
