Built on a bed of pulsating, off-kilter synths and icy atmospheres, “Thrill of it” drifts like a distant memory. Artemis Orion’s sorrow-soaked vocals bleed through the static, gliding over Arya’s restrained alt-pop production with quiet ache. Glitchy details and twinkling tonal flourishes rise subtly, offering flickers of light in an otherwise overcast soundscape. Originally penned as a poem by Artemis Orion, the track delves into themes of displacement, emotional disarray, and the quiet hope found in creative refuge. Arya amplifies this core with cinematic melancholy and glitch-infused precision.
Arya’s collaborations with borne, longstoryshort, and Lynzz have earned recognition from RL Grime, Alison Wonderland, and NGHTMRE. Based in Vancouver, he’s carved a reputation for immersive sound design, intricate rhythms, and gripping melodic storytelling within the trap and bass music space. Los Angeles-based Artemis Orion brings her signature brand of ethereal, introspective songwriting to the mix—crafting evocative, dark-pop narratives informed by collaborations with San Holo, yetep, Slow Magic, and Baby Weight, and writing contributions for Seven Lions, Don Diablo, and Mija.
Together, Arya and Artemis Orion deliver “Thrill of it” as a quietly devastating piece—a moment of stillness that captures the weight of feeling everything, all at once.
“Uncovering the true source of your emotions is a formidable challenge. But once you grasp it, you gain the power to shape and transform those feelings into anything you desire.”—Arya
“‘THRILL OF IT’ began as a poem I had in my notes about feeling out of place, living unconventionally, or finding peace in sadness. It’s about the artists’ life, basically: feeling or being different or pinpointing your faults, demons, and transformative experiences, then alchemizing those things into art to find solace in that and the people who connect with you.”—artemis orion
Arya and artemis orion’s new single “Hold me Down” is available on all platforms via NIGHTMODE.
