Anyone who religiously listens to chill genres knows that it’s a lot harder to nail the smooth ambient styles than you might first suspect.
What seems like a simple plan is actually a carefully crafted arrangement of melodies and synthesizers designed to elicit the strongest of emotional responses.
That’s why Matt LaRocca, working under his pseudonym FathoM, separates himself in form and function with his latest track Abide.
Few songs can carry the listener away like this one can. It’s almost unfathomable.
The use of decay times, reverberant elements, and a clear sense of composition builds up a majestic soundscape that will sweep your imagination into another dimension. On top of this, the seamless transition from a chillstep to liquid tempo makes this track an ideal center piece for raising the energy without dissolving the emotion in the room.
With repost support from major artists like MitiS, there’s no doubt that FathoM will be big in the running for the chill sets this year.
