What an incredible reflective ambient track from Roopam! This one you can really sit back and enjoy the soundscape. I highly recommend! :)

about
"I’m excited to announce the release of “Slowfield”, a new single that was a collaboration between Austin Rockman and myself. This is so far the most different, intimate, and experimental track I’ve worked on. In this track, you will hear no time but will feel subtle pulses. You will hear no sections but will feel a subtle guided development. You will hear no chords but will feel subtle tonal shifts. You will be traveling without moving. Austin Rockman's music, to me, is a study of detail, subtlety, granularity, and psychology. He is one of my main influences. The level of self-restraint and fine-tuning in his work is inspiring. You will hear it in Slowfield. Every tactile inflection you’ll hear was a conscious decision. I hope it resonates with you. Thank you for listening."

"Slowfield. This piece all started about a year ago, the result of a late night improvisation. I had filed it away unsure if I would revisit. My roommate at the time and close friend Roopam Garg heard the piece and insisted upon its completion. He worked meticulously to blend his guitar with the melody, restructuring and layering as needed. It is thanks to him that this piece, after much time, is greeting the world. I believe that this piece marked a defining moment in my understanding of time and music. As Roopam says, ‘In this track, you will hear no time, but will feel subtle pulses. You will hear no sections, but will feel a subtle guided development. You will hear no chords, but will feel subtle tonal shifts. You will be traveling without moving.’ Thank you so much for listening, I hope the music carries you through."

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-)

Gorgeous ambient art pop from this Bay Area artist, wrapped up in gauzy synths with rich textures.

Minimalist compositions that take their time unfolding, bands of sound melting glacier-like from one end of the song to the other.

I love everything you do but I've listened to this track several times a day everyday for months. Just makes me feel so alive. And like jamming to this is all I'll ever need, it's a sense of wholeness that surpasses everything. So thank you :)
