Undertone’s Open Spaces is a masterful journey into sound, opening with a massive kick drum that commands attention and shakes the speakers. As the track evolves, subtle synth bleeps emerge, blossoming into a pulsating bassline that keeps you hooked. The transition into an epic, suspenseful melody feels like a cinematic experience, invoking the spirit of Kraftwerk but with a modern, punchier production. Spiritual voices hum faintly in the background, adding a mysterious, almost ethereal layer—or perhaps it’s the track’s nature itself. With its pounding energy, world-inspired percussion, and irresistible hook, Open Spaces is a powerful track that transcends boundaries and takes the listener on an unforgettable journey.
Benoni-based EDM producer Tim Bouwers, known by his stage name Undertone, has unveiled his most ambitious project to date with the release of his single Open Spaces. The track, accompanied by a visually stunning lyric video, invites listeners on a sonic and visual journey celebrating the vast, untamed beauty of our planet.
“Open Spaces” showcases Undertone’s signature ability to craft dynamic soundscapes. Taking 90 hours to complete, the track is a masterclass in intricate production, blending pitch-shifting and tremolo effects. Within its 3.5-minute runtime, Open Spaces evolves with constant shifts and changes while staying grounded by a driving bassline that provides cohesion and energy.
“The track is about appreciating our beautiful world. Despite over 8 billion people sharing this planet, it’s still full of open spaces,” Bouwers explains. “Mother Nature isn’t concerned with us—she’s still in charge.”
The accompanying lyric video, now available on YouTube, enhances the theme with breathtaking footage of South Africa’s Pilanesberg Game Reserve and other natural landscapes. Through artistic visuals, including skies that shift from blue to green, the video emphasizes the accessibility and enjoyment of nature across land, sea, and air.
Undertone continues to push boundaries in EDM, and Open Spaces is a testament to his evolving artistry. Fans can experience the track and its message of harmony with nature on all streaming platforms and the lyric video on YouTube:
