about

"So Far, So Close" is a sonic odyssey that bridges the gap between the nostalgic sounds of the past and the innovative visions of the future. Crafted by the adept hands of Erik Tavis, this album is an homage to the golden era of electronic music, drawing heavy influence from the iconic 90s IDM scene and the pioneering labels Warp Records and Rephlex Records.

Genre: Ambient Electronic, Dub Techno, IDM

The album opens with lush, expansive pads that transport the listener to a dream-like state, setting the tone for the journey ahead.
Dub Techno Rhythms: As the album progresses, it delves into the realm of Dub Techno, with pulsating beats and deep bass lines that pay respect to the genre's roots while exploring new territories.
IDM Complexity: Erik Tavis showcases his mastery in crafting complex, intricate beats reminiscent of the IDM movement, with precise, glitchy percussion and innovative sound design.
Themes:
Nostalgia Meets Innovation: While the album nods to the past, it doesn't shy away from pushing the boundaries and experimenting with sound, embodying the spirit of evolution in electronic music.
Emotional Journey: "So Far, So Close" takes listeners through a spectrum of emotions, from introspective melancholy to moments of uplifting serenity and bliss.
