Emiji’s “Ambient Trip” remix of his song “Katharsis” takes some of the edge off the IDM original, removes the beat and emphasizes the pure atmosphere over the understated textures of the original and keeps the tempo to an organic flow where the sounds almost feed back on each other like the movements on an enclosed body of water. It makes you think of what it might be like to lie on the bottom of a lake and watch large snowflakes fall on the surface as you drift along letting the tranquil waters dissolve any tension in your body and spirit, letting a deep sense of peace settle into you. The remix gives the song an almost entirely new meaning. Whereas the pace picks up on the original and conveys a strong sense of place, this remix emphasizes a strong sense of mood and the ability to get even more lost in the music.
