Swedish artist Dr. Sounds crafts a lush engrossment through the single “Aquaflow,” designed to depict the “spiritual flow of bathing.” Bird-chirping, bright synths, and gentle water-splashing sounds craft an immediately enticing soundscape, riveting in its serenity. The synths maintain a steady tone, with subtle doses of increased effervescence — though overall, melding with a meditative ethos amidst the splashing water sounds. A summer-y warmness emanates throughout.
Alexander Forselius is the artist behind the project, noting inspirations like Brian Eno in delivering a spellbinding ambient spell. The track releases alongside a music video, below, with sights of futuristic cities and AI intrigue, meshing well with the track’s fantasy-like brightness. “Aquaflow” is an atmospherically immersive showcase from Dr. Sounds, who shows an innate ability to capture tranquil contemplation in audible form.
