Take A Hike With “Zenith”: A Musical Ascension By Ben C & Kalsx

Inspired by a breathtaking excursion, the track conveys the essence of freedom and awe found in the face of nature’s beauty. The melodic journey from a minimalist design in the beginning to a powerful, rich and expansive sound blend together to mirror the ascent of a mountain, while the break represents the serene and euphoric experience submerging us at the peak.

The French duo often finds their musical inspiration in travels and the discovery of unique places. “Zenith” captures this inspiration perfectly: each note reflecting their love for wild exploration and Nature’s intrinsic beauty. There’s a bit of Undercatt’s remix of “Solaris” by Moonwalk and Axel Haube’s “Virgo” in this work, as these 2 tracks have inspired Ben C and Kalsx. These pieces’ influence contributed to the epic, dreamy atmosphere and the dark, minimalist vibe of “Zenith.”

Crafting “Zenith” involved a delicate search for the right balance between epic melodies that constitutes Ben C and Kalsx sound identity, with minimalist dynamics of progressive music translating the ascension.

They managed to create a powerful yet original sound by carefully selecting each instrument and note. Moreover, the core melody was difficult to perfect, but its completion beautifully embodies the spirit of conquest and freedom, that was exactly the goal of the artists.

Using tools like Ableton, Serum, and Diva, Ben C and Kalsx brought “Zenith” to life with a warm, analog feel, despite being produced entirely digitally. This release marks a new chapter in their artistic journey, leaning towards a more minimalist approach while maintaining their signature cinematic style.

“We hope listeners feel our passion for discovery and the deep respect we have for nature,” Ben C & Kalsx expressed. “Zenith” invites audiences to slow down, get immersed in the music, and perhaps take a glimpse of the world through their eyes.
