This cd opens up with Scary, a haunting piece, semi- techno/ambient in nature
which begins with a soft yet dramatic faint siren overlayed by more complex shuffling of
synthetics and keyboard melody. It's a song to chill out to...
Me-Retro is yet another
track rich in minimal texture and interjected with subtle playful loops that are easy to
follow yet diverse enough to keep the listeners attention.
The next track, Fly is a
more upbeat, busy composition yet still retains it's surround sound of ambient structure,
and leads into Slip, another wonderful piece of music integrating a peaceful and
calming resonance throughout.
Loop is a bit more complicated
incorporating a faster paced background of percussion layered with a brief piano melody.
Into The Beat captures the
neo-tribal side of TriAna's work on this cd. Another good dance tune -- with a
few fast breaks in the drumming area.
This track: My Reality
sounds as if it were influenced by the "salsa cha-cha-cha" of the latino culture
and woven with a synth melody of siren's.
Where Life Goes
reminds me of a slow moving stream in warm late summer days. It's a very peaceful well
blended piece with a good flowing background sound of an old Hammond B3 and snappy snare
and cymbol.
More upbeat and jazzy, One
Off articulates the resonance of a clear design of drum patterns and the knob
twisting eerie interjections of high pitch noise projections.
I.C.Y.U.B. is
another good dance song layered with melody and straight forward drift into tasty piano
riffs.
The cd ends with Exotica,
a rich blend of excellent synthetic drummig, snappy clicks and flute harmonics which again
create an atmosphere of peace and beauty.
Overall this cd is a wonderful
example of ambient semi-tribal jazzy creations brought forth by Daniel Triana.
