“Whale Tune” Pays Tribute to the World’s Oceans With Beautiful Experimental Electronica – EDM.com

Progressive sound design, a string orchestra and eclectic sampling come collectively in “Whale Tune,” an ode to the ocean by Los Angeles-based producers Carina Nour and Gibs.

The grippingly textured “Whale Tune” channels the tides with a straightforward ebb and stream of minimalistic melodic home, classical and ambient inspirations. Scene-setting sonics are as grounding as they’re disorienting: muted, thumping rhythms; shiny, crackling samples; billowing bass tones. It is as if you might be truly underwater, guided by way of the depths by tropical drums, a rippling melody, and distorted audio samples.
