Producer and artist Shamik founded ambient and experimental label Sensing Waves back in 2014 in Vancouver, Canada. After moving to Chicago in 2021, he just dropped the label’s 21st release ‘Meteor‘.

The track expresses the heavy feelings created by unexpected events that spiral into a deeper sadness. The song’s first recordings were created in 2018. To trigger different workflow ideas, and after feeling overwhelmed with too many electronics, Shamik simplified his production and turned to one synth. He pressed record and put down layer after layer. He then sampled and resampled the audio to make soundscapes out of the synth melodies. Returning to this project while experiencing long covid, Shamik finally finished Meteor, nearly 3 years later.
