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.
Clocking in at almost seven minutes, “Whale Tune” is dropped at an nearly overwhelming peak by an orchestral string part, earlier than lastly settling to an in depth with delicate plucks and piano chords.
Nour and Gibs, who hail from Lebanon and Indonesia, respectively, launched their first collaboration, “Taluna,” final fall.
