ALPHA 9 – Retreat

As this semester comes to an end and I am finalizing my work in various classes I cant help but look forward to summer. I will be going back to Chicago. NYC has the ability to be extremely draining and take a lot out of a person. I started this activity by first centering myself and resetting my mood. I like to listen to music that is transcendental in nature and evokes positive emotions that can spark the creative process. In the EDM world this genre of music is referred to as Progressive Trance. I chose today’s keyword by feeling my emotions and thinking about my Retreat back home. The word retreat was the only thing on my mind and the song supported the vibe and propelled its meaning. ALPHA 9 is the producer of this track which is an alias for his more well-known DJ/producer name “Arty.” Birth name being “Артём Столяров and born in Soviet Russia, Arty emerged in the EDM scene after taking many lessons with the piano and going to music school. He later studied computer science and engineering. Both subjects that I am indirectly pursuing here at TNS.
