“Lost Youth” opens Vol. 4 with its hypnotic percussive framework and flowing melodic passages that meander across eight-minutes with consummate ease and lightness of touch. Waxing and waning as beats drop and reappear, the relaxed groove makes for a sublime opener. Continuing with style, “The Floating Bridge of Heaven” provides the opportunity for occasional vocal phrases to pepper the nine-minute piece with a dynamic narrative that carries the track. Coupled with a rich array of musical sequences, a central arpeggio sits proudly atop proceedings giving a strong mesmerising character that works well alongside the more freeform elements. A strong kick and trademark acoustic tom percussion find “The Moment” blending elegantly beside emotive piano chord progressions. With its soulful character and rich musical narrative, Irmak’s inherent craftsmanship shines through with ease as counterpoint elements blend effortlessly to create a wonderful whole.
An underlying deep house vibe infuses “The Things That I See” with its heavy kick and traditional off-beat hi-hat pattern. Acoustic guitar ripples across proceedings in partnership with intricate piano phrases as the track picks up pace with its dynamic percussion and vocal flourishes add further intrigue in an imaginative piece. A gloriously layered percussive gem finds “Vent” delighting with its combination of grooved bassline elements, plucked guitar and shimmering arpeggio. A strong glissando lead and tremelo character and adds weight and interest as all elements come together in a groove-laden joyous whole in the third movement. “Wake Up Call” draws Vol. 4 to a conclusion with its smooth bassline sequence. Shuffling hats add subtle urgency while a vibrato monophonic lead and gated analogue pad supply glorious depth. Hitting the heights in the latter stages, the combination of melody, rhythm and bass fully showcases Erdi Irmak’s extraordinary talent.
Six new tracks find Erdi Irmak very much at the fore with his “Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 4”.
