SLITES - "Mappa Mundi"

The Cincinnati based ambient artist SLITES’ new single is a deftly beautiful and nostalgic composition that recalls “quiet afternoons, so you might view the present in a remembered light.” This idea of the past being inside the present is a potent metaphor for ambient music - where the overall movement of a piece can take you back to a half-remembered time - sliding drones and deep, textural pads serving as keys that unlock buried memories.
