Emil Smith – Aetherreach (Spotify)
This song serves as an intro for an animated series 'Aetherreach', which is currently in development.
It encapsulates the ethnic middle eastern setting in a science-fantasy universe with advanced robotic technology.
With organic drums and ethnic instruments such as kamancheh and duduk, the song progresses in odd time ostinatos into a crescendo of a cinematic action-packed climax.
Cover-art by the director Lakstein Fernandes.
