Dorian Concept transforms Yuma Yamaguchi’s “Concordia” into a lush dreamscape
In the constantly shifting modern classical, nothing feels as effortless as Yuma Yamaguchi’s “Concordia – Dorian Concept Remix.” From its windswept tranquility, born from its original performance as an interactive beach installation in Odaiba, Tokyo, the track had been a special meeting point of cultural fabrics and artful intention. Now, remixed at the deft hands of Viennese synth savant and sonic innovator Dorian Concept, “Concordia” is transformed into something both heady and heart-throbbing, a remix that drifts, dazzles, breathes, and throbs like sunlight refracted upon ocean waves.
Yamaguchi’s own song is full of his lightning-quick piano phrasing, orchestral thickets of cinematic sound, and genre-blurring rhythms. It’s a sound that resists borders, and that’s further echoed by the dream-like vocals of Lanux, whose voice flows over the track like a half-remembered dream. The “Concordia” in question is the original one, music as a structure of sound built to be entered into. But in the remix by Dorian Concept, that architecture melts. The remix melts the song’s grip on physical space and pulls it into something more abstract. Lanux’s voice turns vaporous, with the piano lines sliced and reassembled into cosmic particles, spiraling and dispersing into synth-flecked atmospheres.
The rhythm bends in and out of pulse, providing a rope while enabling it to flow. Dorian Concept remixes “Concordia,” and he interprets it through his own colorful lens. The result is a version that pays tribute to the original’s elegance while pushing new doors of interpretation wide open, shifting from seaside serenity to interstellar reflection. One of a four-track remix series that also features reworks by Basieangot and Yuta Bandoh, this version of “Concordia” raises the stakes. It’s a conversation between two artists that takes place across space, genre, and imagination. If you’re walking a beach at sundown, this track is a transportive daydreaming.
