Insights from Danny L Harle
In discussing “Azimuth,” Harle expressed that the song represents the culmination of a creative journey he and Polachek have been on, particularly regarding the integration of her distinctive voice into his music. He describes this approach as the “trance siren,” a concept he has explored in previous works like “Insomnia” from his album Pang and “On the Beach” from the anticipated Death Stranding 2 soundtrack.
“Azimuth’s melody could only have been sung by Caroline,” Harle noted. “It is designed around her voice; I couldn’t imagine anyone else singing it or giving a performance like that.”
A Unique Blend of Styles
“Azimuth” also allowed Harle to experiment with elements of scale, space, and quietness that he had not previously explored. He describes the track as a “trance ballad,” imbued with a sense of despair yet laced with hope. Harle envisions the ideal listening environment for “Azimuth” as in a club reminiscent of a sunken cathedral, amplifying its emotive qualities.
