Unidentified Ambient Phenomena (UAP) is a new series by Piscean Daydreams that celebrates unbridled creativity, improvisational composing, and the transformative power of music. The series is designed to showcase ambient music of a cinematic nature with compelling narratives suitable for the big screen. The goal is to entice the listener into deeper states of reflection and engagement with their imagination.

UAP, Vol. 1 is the inaugural album of the series and Piscean Daydreams third solo album on the Ambient Cat Records label. The album represents an evolution of his sound and craft, while focusing on mythic, extraterrestrial, science fiction, and nostalgic themes. It stands as a testament to music’s power to engage the listener in vivid and emotive realms of experience through evocative, cinematic compositions.

All four tracks were initially improvised utilizing an OP-1 Field synthesizer, an Organelle M synthesizer, two Norns Shields, a 128-node grid, a Microcosm effects pedal, and a Teenage Engineering TX-6 mixer/interface, and then enhanced with carefully curated samples and field recordings to create inspiring soundscapes and engaging stories.

This music is best suited for quiet environments and headphones. The intention is to foster a deep listening experience to stimulate the imagination and elicit creative engagement with the music. Each song is a world onto itself and invites the listener to explore the furthest reaches of its sonic horizon.

Track Listing:

1. Neptune’s Embrace
Sink beneath the waves and into Neptune’s embrace, as undulating strings and captivating tones pull you into the depths of his underwater kingdom and realm. This track is designed to induce deep relaxation and generate feelings of weightlessness to mimic the experience of floating in the ocean, while merging with the god of the seas.

2. Transmedium
Emerging from dark, oceanic depths, a mesmerizing craft hovers above the water before ascending into the upper atmosphere and disappearing into space. A dramatic composition, featuring a soaring lead synth, paints an otherworldly scene that pays homage to the transmedium abilities of the craft. As equally at home in the water as in the air, the craft is a sight to behold as it effortlessly ascends into the heavens in-route to deep space.

3. Like Tears in Rain
This track is a homage to the original Blade Runner movie by Ridley Scott and its soundtrack. Evoking the dark and twisted back alleys of dystopian Los Angeles, the track features Vangelis-inspired pads, evocative effects, and field recordings to create a compelling scene straight out of the movie. If you squint hard enough through the rain, then you may catch of glimpse of Deckard lurking in the shadows…

4. Echoes of a Forgotten Past
There was something deeply alluring about the main section of this track when I first improvised and recorded it. It gave me a sense and feeling of nostalgia that had me contemplating how we experience and perceive the past both personally and collectively. To help foster this sense of nostalgia, I added samples to create the aural equivalent of an old vinyl recording that features evocative chanting, resonate bells, a string quartet-inspired arrangement, and a deep drone.
