"wewerelost” is a four tracks ambient tape, a sonic journey in Berlin’s lockdown winter. Within the City’s grey shadows hope and terror are resonating, modulating each other. There is nowhere to go but to contemplate still and imagine, contemplate cars passing by the studio’s window like waves at the seashore..
This record features a combined production between Emme and Simone Antonioni where they bring together their sound hallucinations.
Emme’s release open with the title track “wewerelost”. Six minutes of rising intensity, distant screaming synths (are they calling for help?) until a warm pad kicks in bringing spring like sequences and an open field where to take a rest. It follows “Enjoy the Void”, a song that encounters many spaces while contemplating a fall, psychedelic and surreal yet modern and sincere, it captures the spirit of the recordings.
-Certain sounds exist to be experienced in their free form and makes questions where no answer is needed-
The work reaches artistic maturity in “End of the Night”, a stretched melodic ambient track that opens as a cloudy aurora. There is a grainy promise in this sound, the full orchestra of synths is playing in between gloriousness and enigmas, then exhausts an emotional drive that fades into “the Search”, closing track that calls for joy and playfulness. Here the Artist is collecting sounds from an abandoned building and mixes them with soft pads and arpeggios to generate a kind, nostalgic memory.

For those who left
For those who came
For those who embraced solitude
And for those who cried because of it
For the souls that are searching
For those who already found
