Event Horizon: Elegies from Singularities

by Simon Slator

supported by

Fringes of Sound Both tracks seem to capture the feel of classic space science fiction movies, albeit A bit differently. The first feels a bit darker, more foreboding. It feels as though someone got a view of this intense even and what having extreme difficulty processing what they were seeing. The next track lightens up and presents more of a feeling of pure wonder as the synts become a bit lighter and less intense. Favorite track: Event Horizon I.

El Tato Chill out space music. Simple, deep moody ambience.

about

Imagine what it would be like to see a star pulled apart by a black hole: its violent energy being silently stripped away towards something beyond human understanding.

-----

This is something of a sister-project to "Chameleon". Both came together very quickly over a space of just two weeks (hey, when you're on a roll, you're on a roll!). At the time, I was listening to a lot of early Kosmische/Space Rock albums (particularly early Tangerine Dream and *very* early Popol Vuh), paying particular attention to how their more ambient sections were structured and layered.

Part 1 has the more sci-fi sound - almost "Blade Runner"-like in places. Part 2, on the other hand, is generally softer with a pronounced classic-70's sound thanks to its use of flute/mellotron.
