Melbourne-based artist Sonomancer builds an enthralling soundscape within “Dreamscapes (2024 Edition),” a new take on the 2022 release. The track comes alongside a new video, above, that embraces AI-generated visuals. The sights range from scenic clouds to future cityscapes, melding well with an atmospheric production that compels in its hypnotic captivation, cohesively blending trip-hop and ambient components within a downtempo electronic sound.
Spacious synths craft an otherworldly mystique to start, accompanied thereafter by a heady rhythmic warmness. Glistening elements combine with a bass-y resonance, expanding with buzzing immersion past the one-minute turn. The production builds with a climactically atmospheric pull throughout — reminding at points of Oneohtrix Point Never’s more contemplative sounds. The mid-point stirs in its robotic-like vocal repetition, culminating in soaring guitar work that concludes “Dreamscapes” with stellar allure.
