Besides delivering world-class events, Zamna also has its own music label. This month, Zamna Records welcomed Sevenn, Jono Stephenson, and Liu Bei for the March Of Avalon EP.
Right from the beginning, the introduction with its magical and gloomy components produces an interesting mood. For the audience, this decision creates a mystery and expectation. A deft production approach is the change into a dreamy, cinematic soundscape for the collapse. It most certainly offers the tune a moment of emotional depth and contrast.
After this break, the change to synth-driven melodic techno beats most certainly has a strong effect. For both emotional involvement and dancefloor intensity, this arrangement – creating tension with darker components, releasing into a dramatic break, and then dropping into strong melodic techno – seems quite good.
“Cold World” has a more melodic quality, implying another emotional tone than “March of Avalon”. Adding vocals gives still another degree of complexity and possible audience engagement. In melodic techno, vocals can be used for anything from a lyrical topic to texture to another melodic part in themselves.
There seems to be a careful contrast between these two tracks. With its musical focus and vocal element, “Cold World” might provide a more instantaneous emotional connection; “March of Avalon” seems to be more about creating an epic, maybe a darker trip.
It’s always pretty interesting how, instead of releasing a whole EP package, only on Spotify, the release is split in two singles.
