Tunes For The Trip To Alpha Centauri

Going in Circles

Based on the flight of the Starship Avalon from the 2016 movie "Passengers", the opening track of the Legacy of Thought release "Interstellar Engines", is a slow yet complex, atmospheric cinematic ambient piece that captures the serenity and vastness of deep space. Inspired by the 90-year voyage of the fictional starship with its 5000 sleeping passengers and crew, the track evokes the quiet passage of time, the hum of the cosmos, and the fragility of destiny before the unforeseen strikes in the form of a devasting meteorite impact, from which the ship gradually recovers.

Participation mystique refers to the innate human connection to symbolic and imaginative experiences. This symbolic realm exists before or alongside our ability to think analytically or rationally. The idea is strongly linked to projection, as these symbolic or mythic elements naturally extend themselves into the world around us—into people, places, and things, just like how we unconsciously assign color to what we see.

Participation mystique is not just a psychological concept, but an aesthetic principle – a lens through which we perceive art as more than just something we observe; it becomes something inhabited.

In artistic terms, participation mystique can be thought of as a dissolving boundary between the self and the image. In this perspective, any manifestation of art can be perceived not just as an external object, but as an extension of the viewer’s unconscious. Colors, shapes, and atmosphere resonate with inner archetypes – mythical, primordial, emotional – before the mind can name them. This is why abstract compositions can seem hauntingly familiar, or why certain symbols – like a spiral, a doorway, or a shady forest – draw out something ancient, deep, and unconscious from us.

Participation Mystique (Philippe Deschamps Remix)

“Paraná Pyhare” means “Great River at Night” . This ambient piece is inspired by the mysterious and vast atmosphere of the Amazon after dark — flowing water, nocturnal voices, and the deep pulse of the rainforest. Recorded dawless, later mastered in Ableton.

Form is an exploration about how things take shape and slowly change. It paints a quiet, emotional journey — starting with the feeling of something coming to life, then slowly drifting into memory and fading away, time to let go.
