Amsterdam-based composer, pianist, vocalist and producer Loradeniz is a harbinger of the ethereal and hypnotic in her debut album release on Music From Memory, an ambient, neo-classical work titled “SUN SHONE“.

Born in Istanbul, Deniz Omeroglu curates an album with melodic sensibilities similar to those of classical Turkish folk music, maintaining fluidity whilst composing deeply expressive, textured and emotionally rich soundscapes, evoking delicate nostalgia alongside a dreamlike weightlessness.

The sonic palette is supportive in this ideology of introspection and immersion that is constructed through listening, blending textural electronics with elegant acoustic elements lending to an ambient minimalism. The alternation between piano and warm, reverb-bathed synths highlights the human touch amongst layers of electronics and ethereal tones, which form a dreamscape foundation reinforced by symmetrical pulses that build momentum and elicit hope, coinciding with the general aura of freedom this album encompasses.

An ode to growth, hope and optimism, Loradeniz invites listeners to engage with her journey as well as cultivate a relationship with their own through the almost compulsory introspection that coincides with the experience of “SUN SHONE“. With each replay, something entirely different and equally inspiring is discovered which is something to be highly celebrated in a first album release.
