Following up on March’s ‘Electric Dawn’, Parisian producer and musician Nelida Oyma has recently returned with his latest effort, ‘Silent Haze’, a piece that reiterates the project’s instrumental focus and eclectic allure. Compared to its predecessor, the latest record feels a tad more experimental and unconventional, even a tad minimalist. The mix between guitar-coded flair and electronic sounds is ever-present, a feature that guides Oyma’s artistry as a whole.
Introduced by spacious and ethereal plucks, ‘Silent Haze’ embraces a certain hypnotic quality, a feature that slowly shifts into a more kinetic, simple beat and cold digital synths. The balance between synth work and guitars aids a certain contrast, sort of a sonic chiaroscuro, if you will. Gritty and noisy soundscapes help give the single a polite avant-garde sheen.
Despite its instrumental character, ‘Silent Haze’ has been crafted with wider symbolism. Delving deeper into the nuanced creative ethos that propels the piece, we are told: “It’s inspired by early mornings in the mountains, when fog slowly moves through the forest and clouds drift between the trees and the slopes. More than a place, ‘Silent Haze’ captures a fleeting moment: the fresh air, the light and the feeling of motion in a landscape that is constantly changing.”
