We’ll just say it now: this is not a record for everybody. The typical pop listeners might not connect to it; we instead do, drawn to the ethereal soundscapes of Taavi Daft as the thirsty travellers are to a water well. In fact, the analogy is quite accurate. ‘Enlightening’ EP is our source of energy and healing, a transformative sonic experience that directly influences our deepest emotions, exploring the darkest corner of human consciousness.
Featuring two stunning pieces, ‘Surrender’ and ‘Coalescence’, the record mainly navigates long, bright and kaleidoscopic soundscapes, favouring hypnotising repetition over constant modulation. It’s effective, the listeners will rejoice in such authentic and poignant pieces. Emerging from Bern, Switzerland, Taavi Daft now focuses on meditative and relaxing music, something that’s clearly working out well.
Boasting a career as a composer and producer, both for himself and other artists, Taavi is on a path to recovery, after suffering a health breakdown. The experience made him realise that a change was needed, the pace had to slow down. So he did, with ‘Enlightening’ EP being a direct expression of that process.
