The lead single from Eclipse, the upcoming EP by Josh Jacobson and Tristan de Liège, Binary Star offers a contemplative and richly textured listening experience. With mellow downtempo vibes, the track blends delicate piano melodies, gentle synth layers, and a rhythmic drum pattern that steadily pushes the track forward. Subtle shifts in harmony and atmospheric sounds create an immersive, thought-provoking mood that invites reflection.
Tristan de Liège and Josh Jacobson bring their distinctive musical sensibilities together seamlessly on this project. Tristan, known for his eclectic approach to downtempo and forward-thinking electronica, incorporates influences ranging from jazz and classical to global styles like West African folk music and Indonesian gamelan. His nuanced production style has earned him a place alongside downtempo luminaries such as Emancipator and Frameworks.
Josh Jacobson complements Tristan’s style with his piano-driven sound and experience in blending dance rhythms with reflective, cinematic arrangements. A Los Angeles-based composer and electronic producer, Josh has evolved from touring DJ to a creator of introspective electronic music, earning acclaim for collaborations and placements in projects like the TV series Bel Air.
Together, their work on Eclipse presents an engaging journey through warm textures, intricate rhythms, and emotionally resonant piano passages. Tracks like Binary Star capture the duo’s ability to balance hope and melancholy, creating a lush sonic environment that resonates deeply with listeners.
