South African composer Jason van Wyk revisits material from his Inherent album with the Horizon EP, presenting ambient reinterpretations of three tracks; Inner, Shine, and Cascades. The release shifts the focus from rhythmic structure to atmospheric depth, emphasizing spaciousness and introspection.
The reworked version of Inner opens with a gradual fade, introducing delicate textures reminiscent of slow-moving ice. The arrangement flows seamlessly, emphasizing minimalism and emotional subtlety. Paralleled to the original, which leaned toward a more cinematic ambient approach, the new take is pared down to its most intimate elements.
Overall, Horizon EP serves as a meditative companion to the original works, highlighting their underlying serenity and transforming familiar themes into even more intrinsic and immersive sounds.
