Reach by Dans Mon Salon

Dans Mon Salon returns with a combative and tense yet cinematic take on Reach, the opening track of Apparition. It could be said that the single consists of three movements in which the stories are set in unspecified time in the future. In the intro of the single our fictitious character is chained to a chest, and heavy steps carry them through a gutter tunnel up to no good. A heavy splash suggests the sinkage of the heavy box, which fills with water, hinting at the potential drowning of the chained hostage. The track closes with a short-term suspense-repeating thud. In the second movement, our hostage has survived, or thinks that they have survived, since their subconscious was owned by a transhumanist corporation prior to the captivity incident. They are out in the open, an eastern deserted hostile environment unravels a post-industrial quest to find a meaning in this game of memory and cognition. The spiky beat of Futuredreams is a fast-lane cyberpunk rework of Reach. In the closing track, our hero lives in a simulation, a situation where they cannot perceive if they are alive or dead anymore. The are aware that they escaped from drownage and they are on a hunt to find who had tied them up, threw them in the trunk and into the water; an endless chase of the truth, in future, in dreams.
