Eric Angelo Bessel’s latest album Mirror at Night just released on October 31, 2025. For an album filled with elegantly and carefully crafted harmonic drones and flowing, resonating, abstract textures the track “Non-digetic Sound” both embodies and identifies the character of the entire album. The title refers to the incidental music in a film that the viewers but not the characters can hear. It provides emotional content that helps to enhance and sometimes establish the mood of the film in a non-verbal way that isn’t always obvious with the plot. The aforementioned song by Bessel is in a constant state of unfolding with a sustained sense of illuminated memories that come into the mind in peak moments that seem to parallel what’s happening before you. It’s a sense of wonder and connection that feels ethereal, mysterious and special. Bessel seems to have tapped into these often unspoken experiences that we comprehend but can’t always put into words, especially not in short. The music works on a similar level that Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks does by capturing the moment and the feelings precisely without the need for verbal explanation.
