Pieces in Miniature (2022)

Info

A curated collection of short tracks by cool musician Ario, conceived as an “index of ideas” rather than an album per se. Ario’s main aesthetic is synthy EDM that sounds like it’d be right at home in a shmup, particularly reminiscent of Yasuhisa Watanabe (Yack.) in the synth choices, chords, and rhythmic writing, which I think is plainly on display in the selection of tracks on this album.

Recommended tracks:

  • Albinous Movement” has a bit of an unbalanced rhythm

  • Select” is for sure chill music to select a spaceship to

  • Subsurface Creature Dance” has a straightforward dance groove, which I guess checks out

  • Unfurling” sounds like an arrangement of a town theme from some medieval RPG
