PINEL - Gardens

Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone. Sometimes it's best to stop and appreciate the beauty in front of you. Sometimes the rest beat, the whitespace, or the silence in a conversation evokes the most significant meaning and depth. Writing "Gardens," I focused on that break in sound. I focused on the beauty a pause in chaos can bring and what a rest beat adds to an arrangement's dynamics.

Although "Gardens" combines layered heavy supersaw synths and fast arpeggios, the use of silence is what provides the tension and the song's depth. Through the hard-hitting drums and in your face synths, "Gardens" also shows moments of organic and melodic charm. Uplifting melodies, sweeping acoustic guitars, and airy pads deliver a relaxed musical bed that contrast the driving percussion, hard basslines, and heavy synth chords.

"Gardens" intention is to remind us to stop and admire what we have and to live in the now, as that moment is fleeting and we will never have it back. To be cliché, stop and smell the roses once in a while.

Enjoy,

Ronnie
