Ambient synth pop from: Losange – Beacon

A bit of pre-Friday chill with Losange involving some synth pop lullaby.

Losange is Benoit Baudrin from France. His biog is the enigmatically French “just note. all or nothing. computer music”

Here’s Beacon, a single release alongside Arlequin, ahead of new album Lost Treasures. Of Beacon Losange says “The beacon represents a sort of banner for a certain idea of electronic music, focused on melody and harmony, without any beat. I prefer to call it computer music because it better reflects how it is produced, that is, in a purely integrated, purely synthetic, purely written manner.”

This is synth pop as ambient classical. The structures have a lot of neo classical about them but without the organic textures. This is unashamedly computerised music. And jolly lovely it is too. Synths parp gently and throb in a soothing lullaby.

This is one of those tracks that you want to call pretty. It’s cute, winsome and gambols around without a care in the world. There’s a little reverb to stop it entering the domain of twee. But it is such a delightful track that it’s hard to bear it any malice. And in the end all you can do is smile at its loveliness.
