BSP and FREQUENCY33 have produced a new sound that sounds like a blend of deep healing and a movie soundtrack. This cooperation is unique because it brings together two very distinct worlds. BSP is a fantastic artist who perceives music as colors. She describes her “canvas orchestra” as a way to turn music into a visual experience. Her work has been presented at well-known sites, including the Tate Modern.
On the other side, we have FREQUENCY33, also known as Noah Kempf, a producer from Germany who uses his skills in sound healing and reiki to make music that helps people feel calm and connected. They are not just writing music together; they are also creating a place where you can really experience your sentiments and find serenity.
“Mirror,” their most recent single, is a lovely and slightly creepy song that falls in between indie pop and ambient music. Instead of being a loud song you might hear on the radio, it is more like a “mood piece” that captures a very specific, quiet moment in time.
The song takes place on the edge of a pier, where the sound of the waves is like the hectic, unwanted thoughts that occasionally flood our heads. The river below stands for the large “unknown” portions of our lives that make us anxious. The music is quite simple and has a lot of space to breathe. It uses smooth, repeating melodies that sound like water running back and forth. This makes the listener feel like time has stopped so they can feel the weight of every quiet moment.
BSP’s singing is really gentle and light. It seems more like she’s whispering a private notion to herself than performing for an audience. When you stack a lot of layers of her voice on top of each other, it sounds like various versions of the same person talking at the same time. This is a good way to depict how it feels to be confused or at war with your own mind.
The real core of “Mirror” is the “Precipice,” which is the frightened, motionless time shortly before anything important happens in your life. It talks about the fight between wanting to protect ourselves and the tendency of getting in our own way. The song tells us that we often look for indicators of danger in the environment around us, but the loudest “scary” sounds are really emanating from inside our own souls.
It shows us that the biggest things that keep us from moving forward are frequently the chaotic or distorted representations of ourselves that we see when we look in the mirror. We can all connect to this in our daily lives. Whether we are thinking about leaving a job, ending a relationship, or starting something totally new, we often get “paralyzed” because we overthink everything. We wait for a loud sign to tell us what to do, just so we don’t have to face our own quiet insecurities.
In the end, the “Mirror” in this song isn’t something you look at on a wall; it is a hurdle in our minds. It shows the courage we need to get over our worries and see that the “warning” we are so terrified of is really just the sound of us becoming a better person. This song is about the hard but necessary silence we need to be honest with ourselves. We recommend that you find a dark, quiet area and put on a good pair of headphones to get the most out of this song. Let the music fill your ears and utilize it as a tool to look inside yourself, face your reflection, and eventually go forward.
