Cinematic dives into atmosphere with "Cries of Redemption" - An Eerie Feeling.

A Soundscape that does not chase the listener’s attention instead resonates with them.

A recording project called “Cries of Redemption” was founded in 2007 by Ed Silva, a songwriter and guitarist. The project is based in Savannah, Georgia and exemplifies Ed's commitment to making music that is fresh and inspired through the use of atmosphere, emotion, and authenticity while disregarding industry trends and commercial viability. Ed's previous work has been documented on multiple online platforms since 2006, including ReverbNation and Kompoz, before the era of viral content and algorithm-based success. Musically, Ed has combined contemporary rock and nu-metal influences with traditional trance, cinematic trap, and Romanian deep house sounds to create an innovative style.

"Cries of Redemption" is a song that incorporates both technical qualities and human connection, producing an exhilarating feeling for audiences.

With its opening notes, "An Eerie Feeling" transports listeners into an uncertain, mysterious world; yet, beneath the surface, a beautiful tension slowly builds to a climax, rather than bursting forth violently. This heavy rock sound has been further enhanced by the addition of electronic textures creating an atmosphere more akin to that of a movie soundtrack than to a standard single. The production of "An Eerie Feeling" is very compressed, but it is done so in a controlled way. The use of distorted guitars creates a dense and layered environment while simultaneously creating a sense of tension that will not overwhelm the ambient synths below. The substantial rhythm sections of distorted guitars produce influences from the trance genre. Every element within this track is so precisely chosen that it creates an effortless connection between aggression and contemplation.

Musically, An Eerie Feeling is both a project of contrast and emotion. Denisse Ferrara's singing creates a ghostly element, floating gracefully above the instrumentation, providing a sense of spectral permanence in her voice. She evokes imagery through her voice, and, in contrast, Ed Silva's grounded and introspective delivery helps draw the listener into Silva's world of introspection.

The vocal element of “An Eerie Feeling” centres around its emotional contrast. Denisse Ferrara’s ethereal delivery has ghostly qualities, floating above the instrumentation with an almost supernatural serenity, while her voice carries an intimate distance similar to when memories unexpectedly return to thought. Conversely, Ed Silva’s vocals convey an introspective quality grounded in the real world. The juxtaposition of Denisse’s and Ed’s vocals illustrates the internal relationship of fear and understanding, doubt and the presence of the self. The use of vocal modelling technology enhances the interaction of the two voices rather than detracting from it, as it creates a unique otherworldly quality while maintaining authentic emotion.

An Eerie Feeling draws upon that sense of latent intuitive tension with almost instinctive anticipation we often experience before actually seeing or understanding its source. It invites us, as listeners, to accept our discomfort rather than escape it through the concept of religious-style patience.

Cries of Redemption has a distinct philosophy behind its music and is not a project that seeks attention or is inspired by trends; rather, it is a work of intent. Ed Silva draws from the iconic sounds of classic rock and the innovative elements of electronic music, but does not attempt to copy either; rather, what he does is develop an individual sound that is entirely his own.

"An Eerie Feeling" works on so many levels because it gives respect to the listener’s experience. The guitars create a heaviness which drives this track. Though this track permits breathing and developing the emotion over time, it is also a reminder that darkness does not have to hold a solution and can instead just need to be recognised for what it is. The invitation is an informal, yet very beautiful invitation to enter into the realm of imagination through this song for both creative and emotional reasons.
