Nctrnm dwells between familiar spheres. Between arts, creating profound electronic soundscapes and immersive visual pieces that touch the audience both separately and when they are combined. Between music genres, writing both grounding downtempo with crisp drum patterns and weightless ambient built from uplifting textures. Between movement and stillness, home and homelessness, warm embrace and cold loneliness. Just like life itsels, always changing its shape, its meaning, its goal. This process of constant transformation has informed Nctrnm's music, starting with "Atlas" ("the map") and continuing with the new EP "Gemini" ("the space between destinations").

"Gemini" starts with the aforementioned "Atlas". It brings together crisp drums with a surprisingly prominent open hi hat part, relaxed arpeggio and epic brassy synth textures. And this is only the beginning. The exhuberance starts growing! It's like the track points out every direction worth exploring on other songs on this album and other albums to come.

"Lighthouse" gently takes a step back. A big step back! The textures take up the whole picture, like the sky and the river on James Whistler's paintings. Heavy resonance and subtle delay add a somewhat ghostly character to the soundscape.

"Monk" follows a different route pointed out on the map painted by "Atlas". The drums here are as crisp as on the opening track, however they take up considerably less sonic space, leaving more room for the lonely and rainy textures to shapeshift and evolve.

"Seven Am" is all blur and indecision. Misty road ahead. Weak signal. Muffled voices under water. And at the same time "Seven Am" is permanence. No change. The future is clear. The murky soundscape stays what it is. It's like a period in your life when the bog has sucked you in, it's warm, it's oozy. And you wouldn't be able to get out of it, even if you wanted to. But you don't want to. That's how substances like this tend to work.

"Ova" is the closing track on the EP. It's notable for its deep bass, cold and unwelcoming drums and atmospheric reverb. It's what dance music could become if we all learned how to dance slowly, following the subtle movements rather than the blunt patterns used in dance music today.

Overall, "Gemini" feels like a rainbow – different colours and moods, all sewn together creating a miraculous effect. It's a spectrum of shifting tones and emotions, each track bringing its own distinct energy while still forming an intriguing and unexplainable whole. The moods ebb and flow naturally, switching from lively and vibrant drums to introspective textures, from feelings of routine, boredom and alienation to the warmth of rootedness, connection to something you love and the joy of homecoming.
