“Elijah has been a huge inspiration to me so when he reached out, I dropped all my other projects and jumped on this. I think what came of it is a beautifully atmospheric concoction of both our unique styles.”

THE RELEASE
A tribute to the calming abilities of the sea.
“Shaped by the Sea” blends gentle strings & keys, mellow drum grooves & soothing foley sounds of waves. Enhanced by warm vocal samples, this piece will soothe your every cell. The artwork is a film photograph by Elijah Nang himself.
“I’ve been watching Nogymx for a while and I think our sound is quite similar so it made sense for me to reach out and work with him, it could be the beginning of something.” shares Elijah Nang.
