The Orb

‘The Orb’, from composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer Matthew Simms (Memorials, Wire, It Hugs Back), emanates an ominous aura of impending doom. Gritty, tonal drones and distorted synth explosions paint a sonic landscape of encroaching darkness, where giant sinkholes yawn open and gas clouds swirl with malevolent intent. Simms expertly wields a sonic arsenal of analog and digital tools, including the Make Noise and Malekko Heavy Industry modular synths, to conjure a sense of unease and impending cataclysm. ‘The Orb’ is a sonic black hole, perfect for projects that explore themes of destruction, annihilation, and the arrival of unstoppable forces.
