On mesmerising synth odyssey ‘Shattered Tides’, producer Ōkubi explores the creative precipice between breakthrough and burnout.
Augmented by the evocative vocals of Dublin-based NARA, the track encapsulates the lingering self-doubt of the artistic process via pulsating electronica and propulsive beats. Yet amid the anxious soundscapes are moments of transcendent harmony – NARA’s delicate melodies cutting through incandescent synths like rays of light.
Ōkubi fuses analogue textures with contemporary electronic composition to craft something uniquely their own. The ebbs and flows have an almost orchestral drama, the rises in tension culminating in waves of release. Ultimately ‘Shattered Tides‘ suggests a young talent unconstrained by genres or convention.
