This Autumn German producer Ryan Davis returns to Anjunadeep with his exquisitely crafted mini-album ‘Home’. Awash with analogue sound design, organic field recordings, and digital sampling, each track on Davis’ mini-album unites the man-made and the natural to evoke his understanding of Home – something that is simultaneously within us and around us.
Opening number ‘Shift’ represents all that is constantly changing as we traverse time, the subtle alterations in our day-to-day reflected in the track’s understated piano lines and immersive sound design. Conversely, lead track ‘Alow’ is indicative of those vast emotional shifts that are often felt more than they are seen; “it is about feeling powerless in one moment but then having the power of starting all over and do it better this time.” The swelling tension and release heard in ‘Ode’ is a short testament to the unpredictability of life – “the breakbeat and the noises describe that life isn’t a straight path but more a way with a lot of options to choose where to go next, and things we can’t predict”. Inspired by the raw power of nature, ‘Obsidian’ is the clubbiest cut on the release, utilising harsh field recordings to mould hard kicks and percussion. The arbitrary cuts and breaks in ‘Cyclus’ symbolise the random, cyclical nature of our lives, whilst ‘Dimmed’ is pure, steady piano piece, indicative of the sense of closure before we finally fall asleep.
