OUT ON IN – Forgetting Everything is Easy: Evolving Ambient Layers with a Lo-Fi Edge – Frequency State

Forgetting Everything is Easy by OUT ON IN begins with a restrained ambient build, gradually forming into a brooding and immersive soundscape. A dark opening texture sets the tone—low-end movement and subtle modulation giving it an ominous undercurrent—before giving way to brighter, bell-like elements that shift the mood.

As the track develops, string-like timbres add harmonic weight, while subtle melodic fragments surface and recede. The composition leans into gesture and tone more than structure, prioritising atmosphere over form. The latter section dissolves into abstraction, with distant textures and echoes providing a quiet conclusion.

The piece is part of a series of live studio recordings made by John Gutenberger and Thom Monahan at Golden Void Studios in Los Angeles. Recorded without a fixed plan, the work embraces spontaneity and subtle sonic gesture. Forgetting Everything is Easy captures that in-between state—ambient, loosely formed, yet emotionally resonant.
