Aarktica is an ambient/atmospheric project created by American composer Jon DeRosa, with Elegiac coming from his latest album Paeans.

By Jane Howkins

Elegiac is stunningly beautiful, featuring a slew of atmospheric synths and strings in the background, as the track builds up over time. A slow guitar melody is added after a while, weaving its way in and out of the music in a lovely way. The song is actually rather beautiful at times, showing just how skilled this composer really is! It’s quite a subtle piece of work, and it won’t be for everyone, but those who like their music on the more experimental end of things should take a listen to Elegiac.
