Encyclopedia > Lunisolar

How does space sound? Barren and desolate? An empty vacuum of astral winds spinning the darkened horizons. Lunisolar is the musical incarnation of space, a tragic journey through the andromeda constellation. Taking its queue from such illustrious artists as Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, the spacious, melancholic, almost soundtrack-like quality that takes the listener unto the stars, most evident in the counter named title track.


Some tracks are the epitome of space and mind travel, and some, are the sounds of outer-worldly horrors, the terrors awaiting in the night sky, the oppressive loneliness of a space-deserted planet. Some energetic and percussion tinged tracks are unexpected cuts, moving and gyrating into a delirious frenzy, thus breaking the otherwise tragic sounding music.


Others are tracks which serve as a soundtrack for a night in the desert, stars shining overhead, fireflies coloring the otherwise barren horizon.


Lunisolar is a chance to create a Sci-Fi soundtrack to the movies in your mind, a requiem for the space age, so sit-back, let out the director inside, and you shall find yourself in another galaxy, one far far away, and far darker and lonelier.
