Drenched in futuristic melancholia that seems fitting for the soundtrack of a dystopian movie set in 2095, Johannes Arzberger’s “NBGL” is the kind of song that will attach itself to the darkest, yet hopeful corners of your mind.
Blending elements of IDM, trip hop, broken beat and build on the foundations of Johannes’ jazz roots, the track is a pulsating charge of emotions. The German jazz composer takes listeners on a mind-bending journey through sound and story with his upcoming 13-track sci-fi-inspired album called Rebirth, part of which is today’s spotlight, “NBGL”. The cinematic soundscapes explore the idea of existence within a dystopian world with each spmg unfolding like a visual episode in a larger narrative.
Rebirth has its own sonic language feels fluid, fragmented, and deeply intuitive, mirroring the natural rhythm of life itself – a loop that never repeats, yet remains endlessly connected. That’s the feel I got while I spend 30 minutes looping “NBGL” and realizing it feels like a circle I don’t want (or know how) to get out of.
