Traces by Rhian Sheehan & Arli Liberman
Loop are proud to present Traces, a collaborative album from New Zealand musicians, composers and producers Rhian Sheehan & Arli Liberman. The album is an instrumental journey, blending together electronic, ambient and post-rock soundscapes to create a world with a sound unlike anything else.
Traces immerses listeners in a dreamscape that feels both futuristic and nostalgic, distant and familiar - like a forgotten past or an undiscovered future - offering an immersive, yet intimate cinematic experience that unfolds like the soundtrack to an unmade film, all while staying true to their distinct styles and crafting a vivid and emotive journey.
