Kyle Preston’s “Fear Not the Water” is a cinematic experience from the moment you hit play. We chose a quiet, distraction-free environment and closed our eyes so we could absorb and partake fully in the experience of this creation.
After reading Kyle Preston’s quote, “I created this music to hopefully join you through your quiet moments. Something to listen to while reading, dreaming, etc. Each track is a story, and I hope it becomes a part of yours.” we wanted to maximize this. ‘Ocean Drifter’ magically replicates the sound you hear when you are on a cruise ship at 4 am, and there is nothing but the combined sound of the ocean, which harrows and powerfully encompasses all of your senses. I was so surprised and shocked at the ability to recreate this, and it was amazing. ‘Magnetic Shore’ was more coy to release its inner twinings initially and slowly entered our thoughts. It seemingly flew about the air in a way that we felt was a butterfly avoiding capture by a small child. Pretty and calming this track is. ‘Fear Not the Water’ was exciting and had a titillating sensation of water bouncing back up in a heavy rain, and then the bassy sounds felt like thunder. It was a beautiful sensation to allow our minds to flow and see these images because of Kyle Preston’s creations with fearless and unbound ambition. The sounds settle in our minds and then return just like thunder. Very exhilarating. ‘The Pull of the Deep’ feels as if we were thousands of leagues beneath the surface, flowing and being gently moved about by the waves.
Kyle Preston’s “Fear Not the Water” is a magical experience that shows what happens when true music is given no boundaries and a creator is free to express themselves. We urge you to take this entire album in and not miss it, especially the final track, ‘Reborn as Art.’ How compelling a name is, and what thoughts we had just imagined how true this is. Each day, something dies and is eaten or ‘Reborn as Art, grows and comes back to us and ’ as Kyle Preston teaches us. This is a true mind-opening and insightful musical sensation that you cannot miss. Stream, playlist, and share Kyle Preston’s “Fear Not the Water” today on your favorite platform.
