Album29 Tracks12:132024| “Banished to Sea,” from UK-based composer and sound designer Jacob Maloney, is a sonic odyssey that navigates a world of stark contrasts. Experience the raw power of brutal synth blasts and metallic hits, juxtaposed against reflective, harmonic soundscapes that swell with hope and serenity. Jacob masterfully blends organic and electronic elements, creating a sonic landscape that is both unsettling and strangely beautiful. Savage alarm loops intertwine with warped gong knells and ethereal, celestial synths, while reversed string risers and burning soundscapes evoke a sense of otherworldly mystery. “Banished to Sea” is a sonic voyage into the heart of contradiction, offering a rich palette of sonic colours for composers and sound designers seeking to explore the boundaries of light and darkness. |
