Ignacio Wer steps into a new sonic realm with en calma, de veras. It introduces his ambient alias, brumarena, and unveils a deeply personal journey toward inner peace after struggles. Recorded in his Berlin home studio and mastered by the legendary Taylor Deupree, this meditative reverie hums with emotional depth. Wer channels his influencesโBrian Eno, Laurie Spiegelโinto a dreamlike, immersive soundscape that moves like ripples in still water.
The album opens with โde a pocoโ, a mesmerizing 9-minute glide into cool synth waves and a jittery undercurrent that slowly unfolds into something hypnotic and fluid. It sways, shifting between shades of tranquility and subtle tension, like watching the sky change color at dawn.
By the time we reach โte acompaรฑo un ratoโ, the album has fully settled into its meditative glow. Nearly half an hour long, this track is a sonic cocoon. It begins with barely-there textures, so soft they feel like whispers. Then, gradually, the sound blooms, and gentle piano tones peek through, layered over a pulsing, immersive hush that fills every empty space.
The journey culminates in โen calma, de verasโ, a final embrace of sound that grows thicker, richer, and more enveloping before retreating into a textured ambient hush. Itโs like wading into deep water, feeling the weightless pull before being carried gently back to shore.
With en calma, de veras, Ignacio Wer crafts an album that is felt. It lingers in the air, in the mind, in the quiet spaces between thoughts. Whether youโre seeking stillness or simply a soundtrack for introspection, this album offers a space to let go and just be.
