In a world of lyric-heavy compositions, a purely rhythm-based electronic music track can be a nice change of pace. Especially when it is accompanied by the lofty ideals of translating architectural concepts into sounds, as the North Axis Project promises. Its latest song Minar, released in late September, manages to convey the idea through a rhythmic percussive pattern and instrumentation.

The brainchild of music producer Siddharth Bhayani, the project’s new single, Minar, is the result of an inspirational journey to Turkey and the Hagia Sophia mosque. It’s difficult to pinpoint architectural details without imaginative leaps by the listener, but the experience of a spatial expanse comes through.
