Journal by Shape Navigator
Journal is a deeply personal sonic diary, capturing two years of spontaneous creation and exploration on synthesisers. Each track originates from a live improvisation built from unrehearsed, unedited performances where instinct shapes structure and emotion guides sound.
Created during a period marked by difficult personal life events, Journal reflects the turbulence, vulnerability, and quiet resilience that emerged along the way. Moments of heaviness seep into the droning harmonics and uncertainty pulses through shifting sequences. Flashes of clarity surface in resonant chords that cut through the haze. These performances became a refuge—an immediate way to translate complicated feelings into sound.
