As one of the most composers and producers in the underground, Craigology is also pushing the boundaries of instrumental music further with his latest EP, Secrets from a Gemstone. Delicious ambient piano, neoclassical splendor, electronic smooth jazz, and orchestral splendor all fuse stunningly on this five-track collection, entreating listeners into an ornate and enveloping emotional space.
Inspired by vivid composers like Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Ludovico Einaudi, Craigology creates entire landscapes with his instrumentation, graduating the experience from audible to inaudible. Secrets from a Gemstone is made up of depth and storytelling in sound.
The EP contains three singles that were released in advance: "Regenerate," "Forward Direction," and "Eclosion (Emerging from the Chrysalis). " Each provides a unique voice of ethics and renewal. Two new compositions, "Rain Drops" and the ethereal title track "Secrets from a Gemstone," accompany this. Both ooze an atmospheric richness that cements Craigology firmly among his signature artistry.
You will be enchanted by the EP’s haunting melodies, soul-reaching harmonies, and atmospheric textures. Each track is a diamond in the rough, getting polished and shining brightly with feeling and meaning. Featured songs like Regenerate and Forward Direction balance vulnerability with a drive so deftly that they become almost instant classics.
With a total listen time of just over 14 minutes, "Secrets from a Gemstone" is a short yet deeply touching listen for lovers of neoclassical and ambient music to take note of.
