Ataraxia by Arsenic Beats
Arsenic Beats returns with his first release for 2020, following the drop of 3 singles from the project released between October and December of 2019.
This time the producer releases a full length instrumental project titled "Ataraxia".
The idea to release an instrumental album has always been something that Arsenic wanted to do but has never materialised until now.
The title "Ataraxia" means to be in "a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquility".
The music on the E.P perfectly captures the essence of the title with each song evoking a sense of serenity when listening to them.
In todays day and age the need to escape the noise becomes necessary, especially when considering how we have become bombarded by various forms of media, advertising and the on going violence and injustice that plagues the country and our world right now.
Playing the E.P from start to finish is giving yourself permission to be alone with your thoughts for a few mins, unwind and find your "...state of freedom" from all the distractions, even if it is only for a short while.
