Prolific electronic synth artist Lunar Miasma delivers twirling, sustained cosmic instrumental explorations. Space music. Tremendous intergalactic music. Lunar Miasma isn’t the only one doing throwback space synth music these days, but this stands out because of the way he’s able to layer in other droning prettiness. Meticulously textured, it avoids self-congratulatory synth indulgence and avoids simply overstimulating the listener with too many tonal patterns. All tracks slow, sequenced, arty, abstract, and worth your time. Also see James Ferraro’s Pixarni, Stellar Om Source, cassettes, and Emeralds. 1. Slow fade-in, cosmic minimalism, high-frequency synth sustain, sparse aftershocks. (3:59) *2. Droning synth feedback, wow, these are lovely waves of fuzz. (8:33) 3. Lots of spaceship effects, organ, an austronaut explores a new galaxy, kind of retro, sequenced synth creeps in. Early fade-out, but a second burst of a tune comes in. (8:02) *4. Minimal ringing tone opens, slow layering and washing of droning keys and distortion, gets lush and goes through several movements. Quite pretty. (8:46) *5. Ringing drone, sustained slow-mo organ, glitching electronics, and computer whistling. This one is the funereal dirge/sad ballad of this album. (9:52) 6. Minimal, insistent, panning synth drone. Almost painfully subtle. Reminds me of the bubblewrap record. (12:20) | ||
