Stepping forth into hushed whispers of a dimly lit room, you find yourself enveloped in a warm cocoon of sound. Gentle piano melodies drift through the air, each note carrying a unique memory that resonates deep within your soul. Fragments of joy, fragments of woe — uncertainty shrouds what lies ahead as subtle mellow tones intertwine and gently tug at the edges of your consciousness. You drift further into the mist. As you surrender to the haunting melodies, an electric pulse begins to thrum beneath the surface, softly drawing you deeper into the chasm with resounding echoes and hypnotic, otherworldly ambience. Soon, you are completely consumed by its spell. This is Dark Year Dawn. Jonny Martyr’s captivating 5-track EP is an extraordinary synthesis of piano and electronics, mesmerising listeners with an entrancing journey with deep, reflective emotion which celebrates the inner conflict within the human spirit. Written and recorded for Piano Day 2024.
