Pablo Lavins - Anxiety Relief

Anxiety Relief is a deeply immersive and emotionally resonant album by Pablo Lavins, a composer and producer whose work blends cinematic sensibilities with rich, organic instrumentation. The record takes listeners on a reflective journey, guided by evocative melodies and textured soundscapes that draw from a vast palette of instruments, including cello, violin, viola, piano, harpsichord, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, and flutes.

Rather than relying on obvious complexity, the strength of the album lies in its restraint and intentional minimalism. Each track balances intricate compositional layers with space and simplicity, creating a contemplative, cinematic atmosphere where every note matters. The interplay between orchestral textures and subtle rhythmic elements highlights the emotional depth of the music while maintaining a sense of intimacy and openness.

Working on this album was a challenge for me, as it was only the second time I had explored folk-influenced music in my career. Despite the unfamiliar territory, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and embraced the opportunity to experiment with new sounds and instrumentation.

My role in the project encompassed every stage of production—from composition, arrangements, and performance, to recording, mixing, and mastering. Special attention was given to clarity, cohesion, and tonal balance across the diverse instrumentation, ensuring that the album’s minimalistic approach didn’t compromise its compositional sophistication. The result is a polished, emotionally charged record that combines technical precision with expressive storytelling through sound.
