Ambient music is an abstract craft, a sphere in which all the evocation is laid bare to be absorbed, distributed and spread. And nobody does it like John C Buttigieg, a British composer and pianist. He understands that the root of ambience is emotion. And diving into one evocative plane, he fluidly explores, unpacks, and unleashes the tiny spaces, intricate folds, and softness that is contained within. His latest release is the Perspectives album, a track that puts on different landscapes, paints them with mood colors, floating melodic islands, and a general atmosphere of expansive vibrations.
‘Misty Moorland’ is one such track; the introductory track that is connected with dots of piano melody. All floating in a pool of pastel shimmer of ethereal synths. Across this dazing, dreamy, and surreal backdrop, the piano keys provide a clarifying contrast. Its sharp, crisp, and succinct notes evolve into faint marks of delicate emotion when needed. This versatility in a way conceptualises the theme, the ever changing nature of it. Its fairytale mystique and its quiet mysteries. All of it steps out of it and into the contemplative mind.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
