Beginning with the sound of a single chord reverberating through silence, Olreilion unfolds as a tapestry of delicate piano phrases, warm synths, blankets of soft noise, and organic soundscapes.
Recorded on gently humming tape, the album presents a slow journey through memory and the inner self, pausing often to revel in the scenery.
Somewhere within the confines of the electronic devices heard throughout the work there is a sense of physicality, lending visceral presence to an otherwise artificial sound.

“Surrounded by vast and vaporous brush strokes, the piano, muted and hushed, sings softly and faint, with melodies, accents and notes, with frail and delicate minimalism, that is at once guarded and vulnerable…a deep dive into reductionist pianism and isolationist ambience”

“A soothing blanket of gentle tape hiss, faint drones & becalmed synthwork with the gentlest of piano phrases to pacifying ambient effect”
“Fluttering piano lines like waves of tone that peak and crest, recede and gather…static surrounds these subtle movements that define themselves in their absence, suspended in air as if held up by gossamer thread.”
壊れかけたピアノの音を軸に、テープやノイズなどのアナログ要素を活用しながら、シンセサイザーで縫われる織物のような暖かいサウンドを奏でる。
何処か切なく、シネマティックな音楽の背後に、水、ススキ、心臓などの有機的な音楽が響く。
いつしか書かれた古い物語を思わせるアンビエント作品。
