Sambox has always been a wizard of a musician, giving us a wondrous set of sounds to lose ourselves in like Cocooning. Cocooning is a collaboration with another brilliant artist- Anita Barbereau. The two forces have united to give us a forest of sounds waiting for us to explore. This track falls into Sambox’s genre of creating scenic/ cinematic ambient music. What sets Sambox’s music apart is the detailing in production.
Sambox knows how to peak and hold your interest. It’s beautiful how a string instrument gives off sounds that are as light as air. Like I said before, he gives us a forest of sounds. He allows the music to simmer and build ultimately engulfing us with the sounds. We can hear a lot of East Asian influences in this song. The synth adds a contemporary touch to it. In this forest in Cocooning you can feel the wind swish and twirl, playing games with the leaves that fall off the trees as it rushes past you, weaving between the strands of your hair. All this as you stand still allows the world to do its thing as you stand as a silent observer.
There is a quality to Sambox’s songs that are grounded in nature, making us incredibly aware of the beauty of our surroundings. The same can be said about Ghibli films. I can imagine this play in so many scenes in The Wind Rises. If you too want to explore and get lost in beautiful worlds, I highly suggest you click on the links attached above and give Sambox a listen.Â
