OSCILLATION The Start of the End

Popis:

Following a series of meditative explorations in the form of theSingularity Zone series of releases, The Oscillation have returned with anew sense of vigour and purpose. Refreshed and re-energized, theresult is The Start Of The End, an album that casts more light and shadethan ever before to create a mood of hope and re-birth. At once warm and welcoming, The Start Of The End is an album quiteunlike anything that The Oscillation have ever released before. Fuelledby optimism and taking stock of what’s good about life and what needsto be jettisoned, the record is a result of spiritual and physical re-charging and cleansing. Leaving the claustrophobic environs of the big city for a more bucolicbackdrop, the change in location has left a profound mark on DemianCastellanos, the creative force behind The Oscillation. Where theexorcism of dark emotions of previous album Untold Futures leftCastellanos wondering if he’d ever make music again, his newsurroundings stirred something within him. “When I made my new home, I allowed myself time to do nothing for awhile,” says Castellanos, “and I then started some new songs withoutworrying about them being on an album. I just wrote with the mindsetto put out something positive.” He continues: “I did a lot of refl ecting on the past and really wanted tochange something in myself, but not knowing how and thinking that alot of people must be feeling the same way.” Recalling the creation of The Start Of The End, Castellanos says,“Writing and recording in an environment where I had little contact withpeople, no hanging out or partying or even having conversations wasvery interesting.” 2 of 2 WAS - Word and Sound Medien GmbH The result is an album that’s recognisably the work of The Oscillationwhile pointing to a variety of new directions. Be it the celestial majestyof the title track, the melodic infusions that drive opening track ‘War OnThe Mind’ or the pulsing grooves underpinning ‘Faraway’ and ‘BodyElectric’ or even hypnotic repetition at the heart of ‘Mantra’ and ‘TheEternal’, this music brimming with zeal and confi dence. And to crown itall, closer ‘Sovereign’ is akin to communing with angels. The Start Of The End is a line in the sand and one that points to a bettertomorrow
