Scottish Composer and Producer Aether Unveils Second Downtempo Single “Tourmaline” From Upcoming EP ‘Moonstone’ on Monstercat
Montreal-based producer and composer Aether today unveiled the second single from his forthcoming EP, ‘Moonstone,’ with the chill, downtempo track, “
Tourmaline
,” on Monstercat. Inspired by the way raw minerals form into polished gemstones, the new record sees Aether sample work from an original ambient composition and rework its structure through a refined soundscape of dreamy keys and atmospheric textures. While awakening a fresh perspective in his production process, the new record is cohesive to the upcoming EP’s gemstone theme and evolution of his sound.
Aether shares, “Originally built around an ambient foundation, “Tourmaline” was given its name through its prismatic nature and how its ambient roots glimmer through in new light.”
With over 22 million streams across all platforms, the Scottish-born artist continues to defy all odds being visually impaired with Retinitis Pigmentosa. He strives to challenge himself by stepping into new production techniques, producing video game soundtracks, and being multi-dimensional with his genres, all while using his specialized keyboard and audible tools. Aether will celebrate ten years of making music this year with ‘Moonstone,’ introducing a newfound ambient soundscape to his discography.
