Today deepState shares Parallel (Sonya Waters Remix), where one of the pioneering female voices in New Zealand music transforms deepState's original into a sparse aural landscape that promises a ruminant listening experience.

"I wanted to make an ambient piece like an Impressionist sound painting where small strokes of audio blur together to present a soundscape that is almost devoid of events," says composer / songwriter Sonya Waters (The Instigators, Orange, Fang, White Swan Black Swan, avoid!avoid).

"After choosing a more gentle element of the original mix as an underlying layer, I chopped out pieces of sound and manipulated them in a granular way, by stretching or shrinking, to create an overall vibe of floating and layering, where voices enter and exit the soundfield in different ways. The piano was added as a played response to the original sequence of notes."

Reflecting on the remix Morgan says "Sonya did a great job with this song, she turned Parallel into a mesmerising journey."
