Ostel

In the ethereal realm of ambient, neo-classical, drone, and experimental music, there exists a luminary named Ostel – a polymath of sonic landscapes, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, emotional sound artist and sound designer.

Ostel transcends conventional genres, wielding emotions as his guiding force to craft compositions that beckon listeners into a world of magic and unfiltered emotional sincerity.

Ostel's sonic odysseys are immersive experiences that invite the audience to close their eyes and surrender to the enchanting universe he meticulously crafts.

His music, a tapestry of atmospheric and spatial sounds, seamlessly merges analog and modular synthesizers, acoustic instruments, ambient soundscapes, and intricate layers. Characteristic of Ostel's sonic signature is its duality – a delicate balance between melancholy and positivity.

His compositions offer a haven to lift anxieties, navigate the tumult of madness, and foster meditation and resilience. With each note, Ostel constructs a new space, a sonic refuge where emotions are explored, embraced, and set free.

Central to Ostel's artistic philosophy is an unwavering fascination with the human relationship to reality and the essence of life itself.

These contemplations serve as the wellspring of inspiration for his creations, infusing his music with profound depth and introspection where vulnerability becomes a powerful instrument.

dandelion

“dandelion” is an abstract and deeply metaphorical ambient soundtrack that floats between the lines
of experimentalism and hermetism. The collaborative effort that Ostel and Edoardo sealed in the
music grows as a way to resemble the intrinsic impermanence of dandelions, fragile flowers, and
eventually of life itself.
The music encompasses multiple layers of meanings, softly driving willing listeners towards the
greatest paradoxes of the big consequences and common destiny that living beings can’t avoid.
Since the very beginning, spectators are surrounded by hauntingly distant synth gradations, stratified
vocal tapes, fine orchestral assets, and subtly present acoustic and percussive elements.
The title “dandelion” greatly summons the concept of ephemerality. Dandelions are in fact the
flowers of impermanence – while they are present, here, they contain infinite beauty. Though, these
flowers are as delicate as a fearful wind. Tomorrow, they will forever be lost in gradients of airstream.
The composition reflects the artists’ attempt to describe the tragic beauty of life, by creating a bond
between the notions of disappearance and magnificence.
“dandelion”, lastly, is a great representation of what Ostel’s music is about: this paradox-like feeling,
where infinite desolation embraces desire, life. And all those inherently ever-present dualities are
shaped through moody feelings of discrepancy, acceptance, understanding, and forgiveness.
