As long time fans of Koresma's music, it was such a pleasure to write this one with him. We think it's minimal in the best possible way and we really strived to keep things simple. Koresma's beautiful guitar lines really brought it to life and we think what resulted is the perfect balance of uplifting and chill, a great soundtrack to throw on whenever you need to focus or just come back into the present moment.

Overall Impression
“EFn’T” stands as a striking example of atmosphere-driven electronica done right—thoughtful, exploratory, and emotionally resonant. It doesn’t rush to make its point; it orbits it, trusting the listener to stay along for the voyage. For those willing to surrender to its slow-burn progression, the reward is a richly layered experience. From its opening moments, the piece establishes a deeply creative and marvelously enigmatic musical character, inviting the listener into a realm where ambient electronica, jazz-inflected expression, and progressive structure coexist in quiet, confident harmony. A sense of musical evolution is central to the track’s impact. “EFn’T” feels alive, as though it’s constantly reshaping itself in response to its own ideas. Emotions ebb and flow—wonder, calm, introspection, and quiet awe—without ever needing dramatic crescendos or overt hooks. The listener isn’t guided by a single melody so much as carried by a current of sound, discovering meaning in texture, tone, and atmosphere. All in all this is a wonderfully immersive instrumental, one that boasts deft writing and oodles of creativity.


Strongest Point(s)
The sound palette is rich and immersive. Shimmering, enveloping synth textures form a rich, enveloping backdrop, glowing rather than glaring. These electronic atmospheres are softened and humanized by jazz flute flourishes that glide in with an almost improvisational grace—never overstaying their welcome, always arriving like passing thoughts. Melody-laden piano progressions anchor the track emotionally, providing moments of clarity and warmth amid the abstraction. Together, these elements create a sonic environment that feels both expansive and intimate. Despite its 9:46 runtime, “EFn’T” never feels indulgent or static. Instead, it unfolds patiently, rewarding attentive listening with constant variation. The first half carries a more animated sense of movement—subtle rhythmic momentum, gently shifting motifs, and a feeling of forward propulsion that suggests exploration and curiosity. As the track progresses, it gradually exhales into a more subdued, contemplative second half. Here, the energy turns inward: textures thin slightly, spaces widen, and the music adopts a reflective tone that feels meditative rather than dormant. This transition is handled with remarkable finesse, allowing the piece to evolve naturally rather than dividing itself into obvious sections.


The recording and mix are also stellar, especially given the diversity of sonic elements at play. Every component is given its own space to breathe: the synths envelop without smothering, the flute cuts through with clarity and elegance, and the piano sits confidently at the center. ShpakOO’s balancing act ensures that nothing feels crowded or lost, reinforcing the track’s cohesion even as it explores multiple sonic identities.


Target Audience Appeal
Lovers of progressive electronica styles will find this to be a thoroughly worthwhile listening experience.
