This is an album of conceptual electronic music released under the name Future Light Cones. 

I made it very quickly in opposition to my usual process. The ideas were captured as they arrived with no prior arrangement or plan. The tracks were performed straight into the computer with no post-production other than mastering. 

I think you can hear that spontaneous excitement in the music. 

This has been a fascinating exercise in seeing just how little can be used to create something compelling. 

I enjoyed this way of working and I love the result. I hope you do too.

The Apollo 11 crew perform a trans-lunar injection (TLI) burn to escape earth’s gravitational field and head into deep space. After docking the two spaceships, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin climb into the Lunar Module Eagle flown by Luminary software. Attempting to land on the moon their flight control computer crashes with a series of 1202 program alarms. Finally they bring Eagle down at Tranquility Base.

Michael Collins keeps a lonely vigil orbiting the moon in the Command Module Columbia and listens on the radio as his two crew mates exit the hatch and walk on the moon. All three Apollo astronauts perform a trans-earth injection (TEI) burn and return to earth triumphant.

They came in peace for all mankind.
