DOWN by Benjamin Fredrick Vukelić, Arema Arega

THE COLLAB:
Our first collaboration was:
https://abasemusic.bandcamp.com/track/align-energy-benjamin-frederick-vukeli-remix-feat-arema-arega-wayne-snow-3
A rework of Abasé and Wayne Snow track "Align", that started as a remix and ended up as a new song.

DOWN is our second collaboration. Ben sent me the instrumental and I completely fell in love with all the backstory it was drawing inside my head. I love when music has that soundtrack spirit.


ABOUT THE SONG:
DOWN has a surreal and disjointed Noir atmosphere created by the tension-filled and unsettling instrumental, the haunting and melancholic vocals and the use of the delayed space where the main character inhabits.

She feels detached, living an existential crisis in a world full of glamorous decadence and solitude. A dystopian city made of glass and machinery, an abysm of emptiness, where everyday becomes dull and unconscious.

Her cry is silent and deep. "It feels so high..."

Arema Arega's work as both visual artist and composer is the result of the melange of her Ethiopian father, her Cuban mother and her Soviet birth in the long, cold Summer of 1979. Blues blends with Bossa, Jazz meets Soul, Folk flirts with Funk and all under the tropical mix of the Cuban Rhythms
