Here’s an instrumental track that will have you rolling into oblivion with the mesmerizing and unorthodox musicality added into the ambient composition, “Again Begin,” orchestrated solely by the very atypical artist, JSDavani.
The five-track EP begins with “A) Brief, 2.) Breathe, C.) Mantra,” a triptych of sound that introduces listeners to JSDavani’s world of distorted background noise, synth beats, and ambient waves. The ethereal percolations slowly evolve into a rhythmic journey that envelops the senses while setting the stage for what’s to come.
The glitchy musical elements in the trickily named second track, “know not know/never know,” delve into existentialism and philosophy. JSDavani effortlessly translates complex ideas about knowing, reality, and the vastness of the universe into an ambient, surreal soundscape.
“begin the end” invites the audience into a more peaceful immersion, creating a serene atmosphere. With the probably intentionally misspelled “Memoiries,” JSDavani weaves hazy, muffled vocals over a canvas of circumspect drumming beats and synth waves. The track carries a dreamlike auditory quality, like distant memories surfacing from the depths of the mind, with vocals juxtaposed against the atmospheric backdrop.
The EP concludes with “Nightmare Analyses: recurrency,” where JSDavani ingeniously incorporates sounds that resemble urban traffic, robotic, or machinery sounds. With all that, he crafts an unexpectedly peaceful yet suspenseful ambiance with an unsettling, eerie allure as the album comes to an end.
The cover art, featuring scattered dots resembling pebbles or microscopic sand, complements the abstraction of the EP’s ambient exploration. “Again Begin” by JSDavani is a testament to the power of ambient music in eliciting emotions, contemplation, and introspection.
