approaching complexity is album number four from dutch ambient-beats duo tangent. the follow-up to 2016s collapsing horizons finds the duo broadening their sound palette with the addition of expressive piano themes. this humanistic addition to their composite of skyward ambience and unfolding beat formations. the duo of ralph van reijendam and robbert kok say of the albums theme: it is about the transition from basic forms to complex structures which are often seen in nature during the transitioning of seasons. they add that life awakens from hibernation and evolves from being introverted to becoming extroverted, even building upon the remnants of previous cycles and evolving into new realms. approaching complexity for tangent is all about their evolution. progression has been something that has been an unwavering constant for tangent. with each album effortlessly transitioning into its predecessor yet moving ever forward.
