Three years after the release of the album Reflet, Glass Museum returns with a new single, GATE 1.
GATE 1 was conceived as the boarding gate for an urban journey, a crossing of the canal through the port and abandoned districts of a city. An exploration where metallic structures and the rhythm of machines define a hypnotic atmosphere.
The origin of the track goes back to an exchange between Glass Museum and producer Arthur Hnatek: for the first time, the band chose to integrate a collaborative creative process by starting from an external sequence. They invited the producer to design a repetitive electronic loop that would serve as the foundation for the composition. From this mechanical base, the trio shaped a soundscape sculpted by synthesizers, drums, and a resonant bass.
The music video, directed by the Brussels-based production company Supertchip, combines images of ever-evolving buildings. Business districts and architectural structures merge and intertwine in motion, creating a visual echo of the track’s rhythm.
Listen to Glass Museum single 'GATE 1'.
Glass Museum will be playing the upcoming All Things Sdban event in Wilrijk, Belgium on 30 April.
