Avant Garde, A Review of

a meditative rhythmic auditory sculpture of simplistic complexities. 

This was the first track I ever heard from Rip Damon, and I didn’t quite know how to approach his music. All I was told, was to just go in with an open mind.

After my first conversation with Rip Damon however, the next time I listened to this track again I did so with what you could call an enlightened mindset. Of course; Not to be mistaken as some kind of form of “enlightenment”, which in all honesty seems more like a marketing term nowadays than some kind of spiritual achievement.

But I digress, this track takes the form of what I can only clearly explain as, a quality of a meditative rhythmic auditory sculpture of simplistic complexities. On my very first listen through I remember not knowing where the music was going to go at first. But after some time, I stopped expecting and started to just listen. The hypnotic rhythm of the track seemed to just have a real calming effect on me.

On my second approach after Rip told me how to properly listen to his work, I tried it out. And I’m going to be honest here. I felt like I opened a door, in my mind. I didn’t space out or go weird or anything like that. I simply purposefully daydreamed. First I looked at the image connected to the track (as seen beneath the video on this page).

I closed my eyes and I imagined myself falling, but there was no fear. It was like I could control my fall, but not like I was flying. And then I noticed the light coming through a crack in my eyelids, and I noticed the shape of the light. So I squeezed my eyes tighter, but the light seemed to stay. It began to take shape.

That’s when I opened my eyes, and I started to drift away from the exercise. I ended up thinking about what I wanted to eat, then I snapped back into the music again. Thinking about what could be possible, I noticed my thoughts, although a little chaotic they had a rhythm to them. Rip told me it takes a little getting used to. It’s about not thinking about yourself, and letting your mind just go on it’s own for a few minutes. Like watching a video. I’m getting there!

I’d say Avant Garde by Rip Damon, is absolutely; an entry level track to try and journey with. The rhythm is strong, the frequencies are wide, the melody is hypnotic and all together as one, a very meditative piece. I’d recommend it for creating any kind of  positive relaxing atmosphere, it’s not necessarily an uplifting piece. So not one to start a party with, unless you’re having a chilled one of course, then by all means do!

Sleeping On The Backseat, A Review Of

It’s pretty much a perfect track for the transitional aftermath of a high intensity night.

I’ve listened to this track at least 20+ plus times now, and in all honesty I wouldn’t normally listen to what genre this track would fit into, but I do like it. There’s something about it that really relaxes me, even though the bpm is actually quite high. He manages to keep the track really chill whilst having a lowkey high energy bellowing as though you’ve distanced yourself from it. It’s pretty much a perfect track for the transitional aftermath of a high intensity night.

Sleeping On The Backseat is a track that really takes me back to a time where the nights never ended, where the party would transcend it’s original plain breaking off into fragments and attaching itself to those connected to the universe. And when the  sun has long risen, you finally make your way to the sacred recovery nest. Carrying this energy with you, all the way. Just put it on repeat and close your eyes.
