On “Fall,” GIA100 creates an art piece that is retro-futuristic and deeply intimate. The artist, who has made a practice of recasting genre boundaries through an eclectic sampling style that breaks down barriers, returns today with a track that vibrates with emotion, proficiency, and an exploratory spirit.
“Fall” opens like a portal. From the opening seconds of GIA100, you are sucked into a layered environment of intricate textures and dynamic sample work. The beat is alive, shifting and morphing, but never jagged or chaotic. Every element has been carefully placed, with samples sewn in like souvenirs from a dream half-remembered.
This track bathes in a sense of momentum, as if the GIA100 is constantly pulling gravity in some direction or another. Whether that fall is emotional, seasonal, existential, whatever, the track peeks into it without saying a word, giving the sounds the ability to speak for themselves.
There’s a quiet emotional arc to the production, a downward motion that doesn’t crash but is instead suspended in electric atmosphere. With no singing, let alone lyrics in sight, “Fall” says a lot. Its potency lies in the fact that it allows you to project your own story onto it. This is music that values the imagination, music that doesn’t require comprehension but invites exploration. For fans of adventurous electronica, GIA100’s “Fall” is required listening. It is an experience that argues electronic music can be as soulful, touching, and expressive as any other genre. “Fall” helps solidify GIA100’s avant-garde in electronic sound.
