Influenced by their time around the music scene in both Milan and London, neoclassical EDM producer Richard Green has spent a lifetime drawing from eclectic inspirations to define themselves as the artist they are today. Defined by their work’s energy and danceability, they have poured every ounce of their creative prowess into the music they create in their home studio. Standing out as a marquee example of their proclivities as an artist, their recent single “Holding a Gun” highlights the elating sense of energy they bring to the production of every track.
A series of thunderous and vibrant electronically embellished beats pulsate in an upbeat and resonant fashion to begin the piece. We feel the momentum of the track begin to gather steam as the tonal identity of the music begins to present itself. Steeped in elements of techno, trance, and 8-bit, the track quickly defines itself as a whole as we feel the world of the music being built around us in real time.
Anchored in a nostalgic rhythmic beat, with modern sensibilities and musical accoutrements, the single culminates in a listening experience that is both familiar and novel. Driven by a constant stream of energetic hooks and an approach to the composition that genuinely reflects the influences of the artist, the music plays authentically as a reflection of the composer’s musical views. Having showcased so much of their originality through this release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming from this young artist’s mind and studio next.
