Crystallized, the latest album from Vytis, is a mesmerizing journey through ambient soundscapes and ethereal melodies. The Lithuanian composer and producer has crafted a collection of tracks that are both haunting and beautiful, with a sense of otherworldliness that draws the listener in.
From the opening track, "Awakening," it's clear that Vytis has a talent for creating immersive sonic environments. The layers of synths and percussion build gradually, creating a sense of tension and anticipation that is released in the soaring chorus. Similarly, "Echoes" is a hypnotic track that features a repeating piano melody that becomes more intricate as the song progresses.
Throughout the album, Vytis uses a variety of instruments and sounds to create a diverse range of moods and atmospheres. "Solitude" is a sparse, melancholy track that features delicate acoustic guitar and haunting vocals, while "Enchantment" is a more upbeat and energetic track with a driving rhythm and swirling synths.
