Italy-based melancholic ambient artist ATMAEN has released the song ‘Beyond The Veil’, taken from the artist’s new EP Lullabies From The Dark Ether, out on December 12th via Inertial Music. This latest work is meant to be a bridge to cross the line between being awake and falling asleep.
Lullabies From The Dark Ether is music that flows gracefully in the quiet darkness of the night, like an owl flying silently, lifting the veil between the world of daylight and the world of dreams. Otherworldly soundscapes create the frame within which soulful melodies unfold. Wordless vocals seem to come from a different dimension. They flow and blend with the synth sounds, creating a rich evolving sound tapestry, to drift into dreams as wide as the universe. Some songs also feature a beautiful heavily processed piano that sounds like it’s coming from another world, yet speaks directly to the listener’s soul. A gentle invitation to feel lighter, to let the mind dissolve in the night sky, to let the spirit roam free and blend with the vastness of space.
