Finnish composer Jori Larres uses rapidly shimmering, distorted synths to introduce us to his song “Counterpoints” as if a tonal transportation system to a higher dimension where the minimal percussion gives shape to passageways in the song once the ethereal effervescence clears away. The song feels like an elevated stroll with elongated notes lighting the path ahead in a world of pure light and benevolent, resonating energies that have a form emerging from the intersection of opposed elements of sound. A call and response dynamic that creates the vibration and interactions from which solidity forms. Later in the song we, the listners, emerge from the that busy yet comforting soundscape into a place of utter peace and silence. And in retrospect it feels like the musical analog of directly experiencing a future form of quantum travel that feels like a slow transcendence as we are converted to energy and then back into solid form not unlike the way the transporters on Star Trek effect their function. Probably not Larres’ inspiration for the track and yet it is a kind of nourishing array of sounds in which you are washed taking in their vibrations.
