Celer & Duenn - Symbols

Review by Sotonye Abiye-Taylor

Symbols, the collaborative album by Celer & Duenn, is a mesmerizing journey through a sonic landscape of ambient textures and minimalist soundscapes. The album consists of six tracks, each one exploring a different sonic space, yet all of them coming together to form a cohesive whole.

The opening track, "The Last Dream of the Past," sets the tone for the album with its gentle, dreamy synths and delicate piano melodies. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of moods and emotions, from the haunting and melancholic "Solitude" to the uplifting and optimistic "The Promise of Spring."

Throughout the album, Celer & Duenn demonstrate an impressive ability to create immersive soundscapes that transport the listener to otherworldly realms. The use of field recordings and found sounds adds an organic, earthy quality to the music, while the subtle use of glitchy electronics and processed instruments adds a futuristic, otherworldly feel.

Summary by Sotonye Abiye-Taylor

Symbols is a deeply rewarding listening experience that rewards repeated listens. Celer & Duenn have created a masterful work of ambient music that is both immersive and thought-provoking. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.
