In a fusion of musical talents, solo artists Mark Daly (AKA Darkly A.M. and formerly one half of the cinematic sountrackers Animat) from the U.K. and Olivier Arntz (AKA nOzart) from Belgium have come together to birth a captivating new downtempo music project named S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N.
The duo chose their moniker as it reflects a focus on being inspired by nature, particularly the melodic symphony of birds. (Sonation is any sound produced by birds from structures such as the bill, wings, tail, feet and body feathers but does not include their song)
S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N. formed in early 2023 through an online music producer community. Their first collaboration hit the top 10 Beatport chart but both members had a desire to work on some slower BPMs, and so studio sessions were held in Antwerp to work towards an album’s worth of tunes.
Whilst both artists continue to work in dance music and electronica, they see S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N. as a project that will allow them to flex their ambient/dub/downtempo muscles away from the confines of four to the floor.
