Angst traduz em som a sensação de inquietação e pressão interna sugerida pelo próprio nome. A faixa é construída sobre uma base rítmica carregada de tensão, com elementos sonoros que operam em faixas médias e agudas de forma insistente e repetitiva.

O uso de ruídos filtrados, variações discretas e pulsações assimétricas contribui para a formação de um ambiente fechado, quase claustrofóbico, onde a expectativa nunca se resolve completamente. A ausência de picos ou resoluções harmônicas reforça o estado de suspensão contínua.

Angst propõe uma escuta concentrada, em que o desconforto se transforma em matéria estética. A faixa não ilustra o sentimento, mas o encarna — criando um espaço onde o som opera como afeto direto e presente.



Angst sonically embodies the feeling of inner unrest and pressure suggested by its title. The track is built on persistent sense of tension, with mid- and high-frequency elements repeating in a focused and insistent manner.

Filtered noise, subtle variation, and asymmetrical pulses contribute to an enclosed, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, where anticipation remains unresolved. The absence of harmonic resolution sustains a suspended emotional state.

Angst invites concentrated listening, transforming discomfort into aesthetic material. The track doesn’t illustrate the feeling — it becomes it, creating a space where sound acts as direct and embodied affect.
