“Reflections“ is an album that feels alive, pulsating with the quiet hum of existence.
It is an amalgamation of ambient soundscapes, poetic narratives, and rhythmic undercurrents that merge into something both futuristic and organic.
Inspired by eight years of living in New York, the album captures the complexity of urban life—the noise, the solitude, the relentless pace, and the rare moments of stillness.
The use of a female voice, sometimes soothing and at other times eerie, drifts in and out like fragments of a dream half-remembered, providing a thread of narrative that feels both intimate and elusive.
Each track on the album is a vignette, a fleeting glimpse into Vlasov’s inner world, layered with the delicate balance of synthetic and natural sounds. The narratives, voiced by Caitlin Buckley, add a dimension that is both haunting and comforting, like whispers from a dream. Vlasov’s use of AI to clone Buckley’s voice further blurs the line between the human and the mechanical, echoing the album’s thematic exploration of technology and the organic world.
