»Silent Green« – a state? A feeling? A wish? The associations are many. Do you step into the forest? Lie in the middle of a meadow? Or peer through your houseplants at the rush of traffic beyond the window? With OK EG, all of these are possible — somewhere between the outer world and the inner self, between nature and the digital sphere.
The project is the work of Australian producers Matthew Wilson and Lauren Squire, who originally wrote the pieces for a live performance in Berlin. With Silent Green, released on the ambient label Cirrus, they turn inward — into a fragile in-between world of intimacy and reverberation. They describe it themselves as an intimate post-club dream — and that’s exactly how it sounds: blurred, fading, warm and melancholic, like trees quietly leaning into the cold season.
Waves of synths pass by, voices surface briefly and disappear again, while faint rhythmic textures hold the ground together. From this interplay emerges a tension that dissolves neither into euphoria nor gloom, but rather moves hesitantly, searchingly, through the thicket. Like Tharim Cornelisse’s artwork, which depicts life and decay within an artificial habitat, the music plays with the idea of nature and imitation.
Silent Green is not a place but a liminal space — calm, open, opaque, like a breath too much or too little, brushing past as it fades.
