In geometry, an ellipse is a closed plane curve obtained through the intersection of a turning cone and a plan. This geometric element is a reference to the mathematical and scientific elements within our music, its electronic dimension and the broader visual concept of our album “Reflet”.
The single artwork, created by the OHME collective, shows organic crystals captured by a polarized light microscope.
Ellipse sets its backstory with a “808” electronic drum onto which layers of percussion loops add up. The piano and other melodic buildups progressively induce a tension that climaxes halfway through the track whilst the ending slowly subsides in a stripped-down duality between drums and double bass.
