Info:

Danny Scrilla Returns To Cosmic Bridge Records With A Full-length Project Inspired By A Desire To Experiment Outside Of Club Conventions. While Cosmic Bridge Has Become Known For Forward-thinking, Dubwise Dancefloor Mutations, Label Founder Om Unit Has Long Been A Fan Of Ambient And Synthesizer Music And Ancient Musical Box Offers A Current Take On The Format, With 16 Tracks Of Lush Electronic Compositions And Meditations. Fittingly, Ancient Musical Box Also Marks The Label S First Cassette Release. Ancient Musical Box Was Written Over The Past Year As A Direct Reaction To Danny S Frustration With Club Music And The Inevitable Cynicism That Can Sometimes Arise From Prolonged Contact With Scenes, Styles, And Genres. I Wanted To Create Something Without Any Ulterior Motives, He Explains. As The Tracks Accumulated, The Project Took On A Personal Dimension And Therapeutic Qualities. Intent On Not Over-thinking Or Polishing His Ideas, Danny Created Something That Is Less Album And More A Collection Of Emotions In Their Rawest Form. Despite Not Being Intended For The Dancefloor, The Music On Ancient Musical Box Still Bears Clear Relations To Danny S Catalogue In Its Minimalist Approach And Use Of Melodic Motifs. You Can Hear It In The Hazy Crescendo Of Night Sweats , The Wobbly Funk Of Pangalactic Gargleblaster , And The Gentle Keys Of Talisman . Alongside These Are More Experimental Moments, Seemingly Fragile In Their Simplicity But Hiding A Depth That Reveals Itself In Context: The Delicate Loops Of The Title Track, The Vibrations Of Cryopod , The Melancholy Progressions Of Too Little Too Late . Ancient Musical Box Is The Sound Of A Producer Remembering That The Best Ideas Are The Simplest, In The Process Pointing To New Directions.
