‘Beyond the Far Shore’ could be quickly described as an ambient tune, yet we feel as though such a definition is partly reductive of its broader merits. You see, the track is not your average soundscape; instead, it is more of a celestial sound bath… expansive, hazy aural vapour that slowly seeps into the unsuspecting listener. Its authors are Italian composer, producer, and sound designer Mirai No Hagaki and vocalist and multidisciplinary artist Jené Raél.
From a sonic standpoint, ‘Beyond the Far Shore’ blooms slowly and with restraint, gradually inviting listeners into a hypnotic and intoxicating aural universe, a triumph of escapism and inner reflection. Lasting about three and a half minutes, the track is carried by Hagaki’s immersive soundscapes and Raél’s luscious vocals, going as far as assuming a certain otherworldly quality. It’s a sensory experience, a piece that deserves your full attention, a piece that asks you to surrender control and let the music do the talking.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the record, Mirai No Hagaki explains: “Working with Jené meant shaping a space where voice and atmosphere breathe together. The track moves slowly, like a horizon shifting. It’s about perception, and about finding clarity inside the quiet.” We appreciate the dedication that both Mirai and Raél showed towards this project, further evidence that collective creativity is often a recipe for success.
