Instrumental Electronic from Colour Of The Sky

Coming out of Prague’s flourishing electronic underground, Colour Of The Sky is the artistic banner of producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Marek, whose music blends emotion with immersive sound design. In just a year, he’s managed to make an impact in the music sphere at the crossroads where reflection meets movement and electronic textures breathe with an almost human warmth.

Cinematic and built on subtle contrasts that mirror life itself, his sonic output frames cold nights and warm lights, solitude and connection, silence and energy. Michael first introduced Colour Of The Sky to the world in December last year with “Melt Into The Sea,” a debut single that announced his fiercely unique musical vision. In February this year, he returned with Winter Ends Too Soon, a well-received EP that captured the tail end of the season in both name and feeling.

Across its tracks, he crafted an atmosphere of restrained beauty, mixing ambient tones with rhythmic flickers of energy, like sunlight breaking through frost. It was an early sign of an artist who could turn personal contemplation into sound without losing accessibility and engaging rhythm. Now, currently working on his highly anticipated second record, Colour Of The Sky brings us his breakout single titled “Only Answer.”

It’s the song that crystallises the magnetic quality of Colour Of The Sky’s musical world, capturing his ability to find meaning in simplicity and emotion in the smallest sonic gestures. Entirely composed, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Michael himself in a frantic three day session, the track serves as both a personal milestone and an artistic breakthrough. Inspired by the experience of driving away from a job on cold winter evenings, it’s a small, familiar image; headlights tracing the road, the purr of an engine, thoughts looping endlessly, but Colour Of The Sky turns it into something utterly arresting.

Kicked off by the deep pulse of fuzzy bass synth lines as the steady march of crisp percussion injects a slick groove, bright synth flashes add colourful melodic flourishes to the enveloping arrangement. Crafting a moody synthwave scene, the track progresses with the contrast of airy string-style leads, the brooding low end energy and shuffle of drums before shifting with bouncy disco-inflected vibes that breaks the tension with warmth and rhythm to deliver a sound that’s mesmeric and invigorating in equal measure.

Packed full of epic twists and turns, “Only Answer” sees Colour Of The Sky lay down a gripping slice of instrumental electronic music that puts his creativity and production panache on full display. With his highly anticipated sophomore record on the way, Colour Of The Sky is set to win over countless fans around the world with his sensational electronic sound.
