Case Against Time
Bee in the Cage

Picture
In an ever changing world it is refreshing to find something that has stayed true to itself and that is the case here with Case Against Time, the project by Eugene Smozhevsky. He has returned with a brand new track Bee in the Cage, a track that has so many layers and textures that you notice something new with every listen. The soundscape builds slowly with the sound of bees and birds before the music kicks in. 

Interestingly, Eugene used hand played parts and his own field recordings to create the sounds you hear, a decisive choice that gives Bee in the Cage a unique style. Having invited you in to his world for a few minutes, Eugene has made sure that you get lost in the cinematic soundscape that he has created. The layers of sound bombard the senses but don't overpower them, that is thanks in no small part to the skilful arrangement of the composition.

The occasional distorted vocals add something rather enchanting to the overall feel of the track, and Case Against Time's analogue way of working, using simple editing rather than digital programming really fits in well with the seemingly simple life of a bee. The accompanying video works perfectly alongside the track, complementing the movement and textures of the track. With stunning shots of nature, from sunflowers to honeycomb and of course plenty of bees, it is just as easy to get lost in the abstract visuals as it is the music itself. 

Bee in the Cage is available to listen to right now but I would also recommend checking out the video, it is as much a treat for the eyes as the music is for the ears.
