ReSeT Ryan Tram’s “Digital Voyage, Vol. 1” contact is rather more than an album, it is a tale that has a plot which is offered through sound. The idea is constructed around two characters, Blue and Red, who exist in a fantastical digital universe, but are worlds apart. The soundtrack embodies their feelings of freedom, grief, and joy with the sense of discovery in this surreal space.
The first cut of the album is called “Elevate”, a track that features, among other things, motivating solos, and surprises. The album can be described as light exciting mood music. “Anew” carries the feeling because it seems Red is slowly beginning to understand their situation, the word situation being the keyword. The songs “Past the Sun” and “Above” start with ambience and take the listener through a journey filled with glitchy sounds and beats to convey the depth of the digital world. “Human” is a piece that has emotions and is full of provocations about who we are in the age of virtuality. The words touch on what it is to be human in a time filled with artificialities. “We Are What We Do” and “Breeze” offers a rich flow of a strong pulse and motion suggesting episodes of adventure. The last cut of the album is “Painted Sky”, an empowering song that serves as the final song instilling a sense of hope of coming back together and peace.
The specificity of this album is the cooperation of Ryan Tram with his sister on the visual aspect. In accordance with majority of the people’s opinion, the glitch visuals, analogue video effects and colours suit the music’s concept. “Digital Voyage, Vol. 1” is an artistic, soulful work that makes people think about emotions, values, and existence in the world of gadgets.
