About this album
PHASE 102: Eerie Unnerving Minimal is a 21-song album from NEXT, released in 2024. It's drone music and film score, dark, mysterious and dramatic, built on drone, synth and sound effects. The songs run 89 to 154 BPM, in keys like A minor, F minor and E minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (drones, pulses and strings) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Drew J Lerdal, Gavin Franzen Linnihan, Jordan Andrew Eckhoff-Bennett, Danielle Sarah Merlis, Emily Kristine Bjorke, Brian Burke Reidinger, Darren Mark Drew, Scott Deming Johnson
