From his studio in LA, the instrumental project of Paul Terry, called Aptøsrs, is creating new worlds with music. Terry gives a synthwave a touch of orchestral elegance and thus offers a listener an opportunity to go deeper than synthwave’s typical cinematic aesthetic. As the artist introduces his creative and new “Apatosaurus”-named entity, the world certainly becomes ready to enjoy the thrilling sonic journeys.
Paul Terry, the LA composer, with his well-rehearsed cinematic score for Aptørts’ first album “Elders”, takes the listeners on a richly scored journey. Terry creates a journey of sonic images that range from synthwave to orchestration as well as bass-driven rock. Terry shrewdly transports the listener to different worlds. On “Elders”, Terry skilfully weaves intricate melodies through lushly textured soundscapes, summoning varied styles naturally. His melodic basslines and rhythmic percussive drive precisely highlight the cuts. A malfunctioning production attribute of the track is what makes it interesting and gives it an electronic pulse.
Adam Noble improved the album’s sound by doing a meticulous mixing . The synth lines are spacious and melodic through the album, and rocky parts are punchy and well-defined. However, mastering by Robin Schmidt shall make the album evergreen. Terry’s renditions and dexterous bass orchestrations do not need vocals to guide; they create pictures by themselves. Each track is a prodigious example of cinematic quality, as they ebb and flow in a smooth way between genre without losing their coherence.
With his debut album, Los Angeles-based composer Paul Terry makes clear that Aptøsrs is a chameleon of a project in the modern instrumental music scene. “Elders” is a work of trans-global music that takes the listeners on a journey of sounds that resonate with the cinematic soundtracks.
