Born on the Hellenic island of Cyprus, indie producer and composer Gavyks is intimately familiar with the relationship between art and serenity. A precocious young talent, their work shows promise beyond the 17-year-old’s years. Blending a classic sensibility with a modern flair, their music demonstrates a unique and cinematic tone. As they begin to debut their first music of the year, their latest single, “Where Time Stands Still,” ushers in a new wave of the artist’s work and proves to be a standout in their already robust repertoire.
The piece begins on a dramatic note, reflective of the ambiance the artist intends to set, and establishes the mood of the single from an early stage. An angelic tone bellows in the style of an almost operatic cantor as the vocals progress in a musical scale throughout the record. A resonant organ quickly elevates in volume to accompany the vocalist with parallel chords, giving the music a more rounded feel.
Although minimalist in its composition, the single demonstrates an incredible amount of depth in its sound and composition, creating a full-bodied listening experience. Throughout the tune, it demonstrates a great sense of balance between dramatic and light-hearted, serving as an inspirational backdrop for imagination and wonder while still earning its merit as a serious work.
Given all this artist has demonstrated with their talents and proclivities at such a young age, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly come next from this composer’s mind and studio.
