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.
