Exumano’s “We Come From the Sky” is Like an Ambient Techno Industrial Passage Out of the Glut of Inessential Stimuli of Modern Life

“We Come From the Sky” finds Italian composer Exumano using a shuffling, industrial rhythm and repeated motifs to build a sense of space and movement. The single tonal pulse amid the more percussive and texture soundscapes is like a guiding beacon in the fog through the constant flow of information and marketing to which we’re subjected daily as a distraction from finding a focus and purpose in life. The processed piano section is like a guiding lifeline through this tidal wave of info-junk and as the track progresses an urgent melody emerges to suggest getting to the end of this glut of inessential stimuli or at least to be able to tune it out and at song’s end the white noise clears with a strong rhythm line underneath a more blunt pulse that no longer feels like a beacon in the distance. Musically it’s reminiscent of early 2010’s techno and deep house but blended with industrial musicand the prepared sonic environment composition end of ambient. Listen to “We Come From The Sky” on YouTube where the visual element was done in collaboration with Arice CG and follow Exumano at the links below.
