Estle - It's Always Been You (2024)

Estle is an electronic musician and audio engineer based in Toronto; active since 2020 with the release of “Hope Clouds”. Their debut album “It’s Always Been You” synthesizes aspects of ASMR, Trance, Ambient, and “Hyper-Prog”. Estle's compositions dance between extremes of quietude and intensity utilizing washes of bright synth harmonies, intricate high-frequency textures, and acoustic instrumentation. Employing generative processing, granular synthesis, and meticulous sound design, Estle creates immersive sonic experiences that gently dissolve the boundary between serenity and high-energy overstimulation.

"It's Always Been You" reflects personal and artistic evolution. This work captures moments of significant transformation and renewal, with sounds that metaphorically reflect the interconnectedness of death and new life. The album offers a profound exploration of love and growth, harmoniously balancing emotional depth with stimulating auditory environments.
