About the album, the amazing young man said:
This is my debut album, and it combines many global influences and themes. The album is a mix of various styles of music culminating into electronic format. You will observe my love for improvisation directly in numbers like “Halcyon” and “Mountain Face”.
My musical work “Chernobyl” is a 2 part composition as a tribute to Chernobyl disaster. The 8 min + piece tries to tell the story from the start of the event to the aftermath followed by massive radioactive mutations. While composing based on themes, I have tried to adapt it to Electronic EDM styles.
“Blurred” is more traditional to the typical EDM styles. However, in some parts it is a very light song, while in others it is pulsing with deep bass.
You can check out the entire album, which dropped in December, on Spotify, but start right here with the opening track and find out why Acidic Base is turning heads. Such an impressive start to what is sure to be an impressive musical journey and career.
