Music certainly feels instinctual for the extremely talented composer LAAKE. A true virtuoso, his music comes from a pure place of ingenuity that causes chaos and calm with flair. His debut album entitled ‘O’ (Orchestraa) is hauntingly graceful and close to perfection, a real masterpiece. It is an ambitious release that depicts a perfect unison of neo-classical and techno music genres with amazing finesse.
‘O’ has such a beautifully diverse range of tracks that proves LAAKE’s mettle as an artist. It takes the listener through an extensive range of varying emotions. The album opens on a solemn, melancholic tone with the flagship track entitled, ‘Run’ which also has a mesmerizing official video clip. This track sets a dark and shadowy mood for ‘O.’ The song pulls you into an abyss with notes that grows and explodes in rising momentum. The video of ‘RUN’ depicts a man’s dawn into insanity haunted by an elderly image with the inclusion of a mysterious dark substance that seems to engulf him from the inside.
The album evolves into a distinctive and invigorating musical journey. It also features the amazing collaboration with singer-songwriter Tallisker on ‘MIND.’ The masterful, dark album ends the journey with the bright and hopeful ‘LIGHT.’ This track pulls you out of the abyss LAAKE designed for you throughout ‘O’. The diversity of this album is very impressive and unique.
In its entirety, ‘O’ as an album is highly inspired, cohesive and creative which shows LAAKE’s artistic transcendence. The album is a beautiful rendition of classic and techno elements that enthralls the listener with despair and frenzy to luminosity playing with the perfect balance of light and dark.
