In Samantha’s latest single, “TSSNBM,” listeners are taken on a brooding and atmospheric journey through ambient soundscapes. The track begins with dark pads that set a somber mood, while higher choral sounds create an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. As the song progresses, it slowly builds, incorporating occasional guitar-like tones with a sharper attack, adding distinct elements to the evolving sonic landscape. Ultimately, the track drifts away, leaving a lingering sense of introspection.
Samantha is the ambient moniker of Belgian artist Gert Stockmans, who is also actively involved in the post-rock/shoegaze band A Place In Between and works as a music photographer. With Samantha, Stockmans aims to explore different states of mind through sonic experimentation.

The combination of brooding pads, ethereal choral elements, and subtle guitar-like tones creates a captivating sonic experience that immerses the listener in a world of introspective ambiance.
While “TSSNBM” is an intriguing introduction to Samantha’s upcoming album, it leaves the listener wanting more. The track serves as a promising glimpse into the sonic exploration and artistic vision that Stockmans aims to convey with this project.
