Australian guitarist and composer Brendon Siemsen continues his move into cinematic instrumental music with the release of his latest single, “In The Clouds”, a track taken from his EP Soul Story.
Built around atmospheric synth textures, emotive piano arrangements, and a melodic nylon-string guitar lead, “In The Clouds” leans into mood and atmosphere rather than traditional song structures. The instrumental composition aims to create an immersive listening experience, offering a soundtrack-like quality that could easily accompany reflective moments, late-night drives, or visual media.
The Melbourne-based musician describes the track as expansive and cinematic, with the guitar carrying much of the emotional weight through melodic passages and improvisation. While listeners may draw comparisons to artists such as Tycho, Bonobo, Hammock, or the more ambient side of M83, Siemsen says the song was not directly influenced by any specific artist during its creation.
Known primarily for his work as a guitarist across jazz, blues, rock, and fusion genres, Siemsen has spent more than three decades performing and teaching music. His background includes studies at Berklee College of Music and Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, experiences that have helped shape his approach to composition and musicianship.
With “In The Clouds”, Siemsen focuses on instrumental storytelling, using melody and texture instead of vocals to guide the listener through the piece.
“In The Clouds” by Brendon Siemsen is available now on major streaming platforms.
