about

Design Default makes a contemplative debut LP blending ambient soundscapes with electronica & jazz hints. Entitled 'Dawn Chorus', the record sounds like a reflexion on awakening to new feelings and ideas as well as reminiscing and looking at those that came in the past. The LP opens in a playful and harmonious way with 'Bells Play', bringing forward the idea of awakening. The rest of the record designs a world in which slow unfurling soundscapes with heavy bass like 'The Forest' or 'Two Mirrors' consistently stand alongside glitchy atmospheres like the distorted 'Ecce' or the celestial 'Escale'. Tracks like 'Peaks and Notes' or 'Wood Caving' put the accent on harmonic and textural content. Overall, the record is rooted in a cosmic almost new age ambient tradition, but focuses more on the idea of renewal than vagrancy and languishing. If ecstasy and euphory do not describe the feeling here, darkness doesn't either. The result is a balanced, mature and diverse LP, bringing many beautiful sonic atmospheres to life, and telling a journey of wonder of openness
