Dylan Tauber is an award-winning electronic music composer, producer, cyber artist, photographer and author, who’s been crafting his creative vision for over two and a half decades. His journey through various artistic mediums began in 1996 with the release of his Double Mirrors anthology, which encompassed a book, photo slideshows and an accompanying soundtrack. Since then, Tauber has embarked on a prolific creative journey, releasing several outstanding ambient electronica records under his Son of Waves Studios imprint.
His music has struck a chord globally, finding support on more than seventy radio stations worldwide over the past decade, while the music video for his track “He Loves Carmen Remix (Radio Edit)” even found its way to Israeli television. Tauber’s artistic journey has taken him from New York City to Jerusalem, Miami and now, a Kibbutz in northern Israel.
With his 17th full-length record, Sea People, Tauber invites us on a sonic voyage inspired by a remote island in the southwestern Pacific, where he encountered the arresting beauty of a turquoise lagoon. This album is a love letter to nature, the ocean and the experience of swimming in isolated island lagoons.
The album unfolds with “Swimming (Remix),” where ethereal female vocals dance above an infectious electronic backdrop. This track sets the tone with its uplifting blend of dance pop elements, featuring lush synth tones, gentle energy and captivating melodies. The title track, “Sea People,” captures the essence of floating in the aqua blue waters of a secluded lagoon. Here, Tauber’s composition delivers a dreamy, synth-based electronic sound of euphoric electronic bliss.
“I Am Flying” builds upon this foundation with a subtly anthemic electronic instrumental sound. Crisp percussion and playful synth leads create an enveloping atmosphere that invites listeners to embark on an immersive journey. “The Sea Remembers Its Own” sees Tauber’s velvety vocals hovering above a melancholic backdrop. Mellow beats and beguiling synth tones merge to craft a mesmeric electronic pop sound. This composition is capped by gracefully floating melodies that resonate with emotional depth.
Among the album’s highlights is “My Island,” a dreamy, stripped-back piece. Here, delicate atmospheres blend with swelling synths, mirroring the ebb and flow of ocean waves around an island. This immersive track is carried by a distant kick, resulting in a lush and emotive soundscape.
The album comes full circle with the closing track, “Swimming.” This dance-focused song revisits the theme, providing an infectious and memorable conclusion to Tauber’s sensational LP. Sea People is an aquatic expedition of electronic soundscapes that leaves a lasting and worthwhile impression, inviting us to explore the depths of music, love and nature.
