Retro-futurism is the over-arching concept to I See Planets, something which Tobias does not map out for you the listener to read so you’re clear. Instead, this bewildering atmosphere is a heady journey that requires the time and space for it to unfold carefully.
The title track opens proceedings over 8 minutes, taking its time to wash over science fiction tales from the 70s. ‘Somnia’ follows, hinting of a drowsy night’s gaze into the black sky above as you imagine all kinds of stars, galaxies and planets. Fleeting moments of warmth are interspersed with themes of artificial intelligence, comprehension of time and darkness.

We’ve teamed up with Thomas Easton for the artwork, who produces retro-futuristic collages. We discovered his work through Instagram and we’re pleased to find a work of art which truly encapsulates the tales of I See Planets.

I See Planets

2. LIGHT - DARK

In my past productions, I have focused on how to mix natural and artificial sounds. I have been experimenting with methods and proportions of mixing the two because I have always believed that only when the two are perfectly blended in an exquisite way can a beautiful work of art be created.

One day, I came across a passage in a book by the Japanese artist Taro Okamoto in which he referred to the beauty of Japanese gardens, and I was very strongly attracted to it.

He wrote, "The artificial garden, which is the unreal, and the landscape outside the garden, which is the real, are distinguished and recognized more clearly by the stone wall or fence that separates the two."

In other words, by placing not only the two but also a third party between them, a dialectical resolution is achieved, and the whole becomes more beautiful.

I began to feel strongly about applying this to my sound production and put it into practice. To incorporate something else between the melody produced by the synth, which is the unreal (artificial), and the field recording, which is the real (natural). In fact, you can see the struggle in some of my past works. I will not go into it here, but anyway, I pursued the third party, the so-called "Boundary line," and became strongly interested in the "Boundary line" itself.

It is something that lies between two things and separates them. In my daily pursuit of this, there was a moment when I suddenly looked at the sky at dusk. The sky was a beautiful gradation of bright yellows and reds left behind by the sun, and blues and blacks as the evening sun began to set. At that moment, I wondered, "Is there a border between each color of the sky?" I began to wonder if it would be possible to answer this question with sound.

As in the previous work, the theme of this piece is that "While being in the midst of transition, it is almost impossible to recognize that transition itself", and this time, I imitated the changing colors of the sky at sunset and dawn. Just as I cannot clearly distinguish the color of the sky I saw from yellow up to this point and blue from there, you will spend these 20 minutes without being able to clearly perceive the changes in the sound itself.

Fall The Night is an EP Inspired by Nathan Hassall's illustrated poetry chapbook, The Flesh and Mortar Prophecy. Nathan Hassall leads the way where few are willing to go, deep into the mind's Dark Sanctuary. All-knowing doctors, schizophrenic demons and apocalyptic visions are all part of the process within the confines of flesh. Once entered, there is no way to unlearn the awakened chimeras of the self.

Blood Trumpets and Nihilism 

There is fire in their blood, 
not a passionate one 
but, 
one which burns through shrieks of terror 
as the First Horn 
of slaughtered rams 
begins to cry. 

forests become the abyss; 
melt into waxen streams. 

mountains plunge 
into oceans 
which gut themselves, 
stain ships and rise, 
swallow them 
in red-mist hideousness. 

Wormwood readies itself, 
descends on the waters, 
taints it 
so that poison and death 
become all that is muttered 
and murmured 
and weak stomachs 
hurl their bones.
