Air - 10 000 Hz Legend (prog elektro)

Sputnikmusic:

“Air uses a bunch of instruments yet their music remains simple and ambient. The instruments used range from acoustic guitars, keyboards, pianos, flutes, saxophones, and violins. None of these instruments stand out with the exception of the keyboard, they all play simple arrangements and together they create soft, beautiful, ambient music. The main instrument would be the synthesizer. It plays a big role in the album and dominates most of the sound, playing basic chords, scales, and cadences to create simple yet effective synth sounds and bubbly effects. Next in line would be the flute and the saxophone. These two brass instruments give the music a more atmospheric and spacey feel; without these two instruments the sound would be dull and it would lose its soft, space like touch. The string arrangements are simply beautiful, they obviously add a mini orchestra and make this album even more atmospheric and dark. Once again these arrangements play simple music, but everything ties together to create an ambient, atmospheric feel.”
