Reflection offers a lush, high-fidelity journey into the heart of Australian progressive psytrance. The sound is characterized by a liquid-like fluidity where synths ripple and flow over a rock-solid rhythmic foundation. It is music that feels both technologically advanced and deeply connected to the natural world, often evoking the humid, mysterious atmosphere of a tropical rainforest at night.
What sets this project apart is the meticulous attention to detail in the sound design. Gibb Tartaris layers squelchy, resonant leads with crystalline textures and organic field recordings, creating a sense of three-dimensional space. The tracks are masterfully paced, avoiding the frantic aggression of darker psytrance in favor of a hypnotic, evolving groove that rewards focused listening as much as it drives a dance floor.
Start with the album Box of Chocolates to experience the full breadth of this sonic palette. It serves as a perfect introduction to the way Reflection blends melodic sensibility with the intricate, mind-bending soundscapes typical of the Fish 'n Trips label aesthetic.
