It contains four tracks created as a sound installation which made by cassette loop sound of piano and electronic sound to ease the intensity of flight and an atmosphere of airport.
It is profound concept of “induce calm and a space to think”. It is a soundtrack designed for an airport and provides lister for sonic architecture experience. The soundtrack is mainly composed by machine and piano for slightly unemotional yet the overall layers of sounds bring more depth.
This album became almost a definition of ambient sound : to be able to bring a peace of mind and escape from a tense caused by external chaos which is a sound effect of mindfulness and healing.
Especially for the last a couple of years of global pandemic, ambient music re-emerged and required to ease their anxieties in uncertainty.
Majority of the world is still physically restricted some living conditions especially for traveling globally by flights. There’s no doubt that many listeners long and think of travel experiences and the atmosphere of airports by listening to this album. It gives a sense of hope in some ways.
