Olympia (Winter Games) by micronaut
Last year, The Micronaut released Olympia (Summer Games) – an album that continued to draw on his elaborate production style as well as on the values of camaraderie and solidarity of the Olympic Games. Continuing on this Olympic journey, the German producer now releases the second part to the project, Winter Games, containing a fresh twelve tracks that capture the essence of winter sports.
Like with his previous release, Winter Games’ tracks are named after Olympic sports – Figure Skating, Ice Hockey and Bobsleigh are just some examples of the 12 modalities chosen by the artist. “For this album, I chose Olympia as the theme, because apart from competition, it’s also about a movement of peace, where the focus is on people, no matter what nation,” says the producer. In the spirit of games, the music is generally high-spirited and upbeat, but this time around it’s enveloped by fresher, crisper airs. The compositions move from broken bass rhythms to catchy melodies to vocal samples and guitars in just a few bars, but the mix remains focused throughout. The album’s opener, Skiing, is an increasingly intense piece that channels several elements – from highly digital sounds to emotional strings – in a one-way-track. It draws on the rush of excitement and nervousness that athletes must tame at the start line, “It’s the calm before the storm,” says the producer of the track.
