Nothing rejuvenates and uplifts the human spirit like traveling, especially traveling to locations that are considered ‘exotic’, for lack of a better word. Austin-based producer Salvasquared recently got to experience this via a stay in South Korea while traveling through Asia. I am sure that his life changed in many ways, but one tangible bit of proof that the trip had an influence on him is The Overseas Instrumentals, a group of beats with Salvasquared‘s foundation used to build towers of sound influenced by other parts of the world. The Asian influence is clearly there, but aspects of Latin and African music also find their way into the mix as well. This is definitely eye-opening and mind-expanding music, even in instrumental form, as it shows how all of our worldly textures can be weaved together into coherent and moving compositions. Definitely check this one out, and encourage others to do the same.
