Cinematic Electronic Music
Luminous
2025 album
Cinematic album that follows an arc from light to darkness before rising again to the sky. A blend of electronic and symphonic with the cello as the through-line.
Stitched together with a shockingly effective cello sound and no shortage of symphonic swells and dramatic dynamics play, it feels like sitting in lotus on a cliff at the edge of a majestic ravine—epic in scale, but tranquil in its overall vibe.Groove Art Universe review
