The organic, ambient sound invites listeners to embark on a reflective journey
Danish composer and producer Infralyd has released his debut album …and it was all for you. Emerging on the scene, Marchel Mørk develops a unique breadth of work by taking inspiration from the structural elements of electronic music. Marchel infuses the genre with vulnerability by employing tools synonymous with ambient genres and neoclassical music. What results is a unique electronic minimalism that is relaxing, engaging, and eerie, all at once. Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in electronic music and sound design from the Royal Music Conservatory in Denmark, Infralyd’s approach indicates that this will be the first album among many.
Prior to releasing this debut, Infralyd dropped several singles across 2020 and 2021. In January of this year, he released his first EP Somehow There is Light which featured a number of tracks that he released as singles across 2020 including “We Fell in Love, Ran Away, And Lived Our Lives,” “Rain,” “Fleur,” and “Saudade.” Subsequently, throughout this past year, he has released singles including “I Played a Simple Melody,” “Tára,” “Gleam,” and “False Sunset,” all of which feature on the new album. The forest visuals that accompanied the singles with each release have cumulated in the full album art reflecting that motif. Finally, Marchel curates the Spotify playlists “Classical Electronics,” “Ambient Fog,” and “Piano Textures.”
…and it was all for you was inspired by the artist’s penchant for daydreaming and inner reflection, commenting on the way one’s mind is attracted to calm and beautiful things in the world. Fascinated with the phenomena of nature and its beauty, Infralyd invites listeners to linger in their thoughts through the music and develop a reflective mindset. The organic sound reflected in the tracks develop an atmospheric, melodic album with an underlying sense of fragility and grace.
