The recording inhabits an electronic space music sound, simultaneously dark and light with flecks of red-purple and orange inside a dream-like cosmos. Fire-laced and opalescent synths bubble quietly and divide then settle atop distant light-filled synth shrouds. Droning space guitars decorate, encircle and propel a hypersonic musical mosaic of sound cathedrals. Fluctuating between hypnotic explorations of sonic nebulae and vast sounds that threaten to break up on atmospheric entry, this is the most glimmering and wide-screen deepspace album to date. It is part contemporary ambient, part Jarre, while also partly cinematic — think sci-fi movies Silent Running and 2001: A Space Odyssey.</p> <p><BR>After the sonic stillness that was <B>The Blue Dunes</B>, this recording is both moving at light speed, yet exploring strange unrecognizable interplanetary sounds that defy temporal calculations.

His hypnotic, glacial, dreamy and atmospheric work is created with synthesizers, software and acoustic instruments such as bells, guitars and piano. When he was a little boy in Germany (he is German/French) he would slip into a reverie at hearing a distant lawn mower, a church ringing its bells, passing planes, or the rumblings of far-off trains. This love of drones and ambient sound led to a wondrous moment upon discovering like-minded artists and listeners who also enjoyed atmospheric environments that evoke liminal moods and spaces.
