This is the release version of the album I've been working on for the last three months of my life. Thank you to all my listeners for your support and I hope you enjoy this version, which has been professionally mastered.

The bandcamp version comes with a 20 page colour digital booklet featuring many of the cosmological structures the album focuses on:
https://marcdauncey.bandcamp.com/album/cosmos

"The album is a darkly satirical look at humanity’s relationship with the cosmos. Looking into the near future where human beings mine asteroids for precious metals with all the attendant exploitation present in terra-based industries today. We start from the sun and move outwards. 

Heavy Metal Rain On Venus is stark warning on the consequences of climate change on earth, presenting a literal hellscape of molten metal raining on the scorched plains. 

Next we view Earth through alien eyes recieving the scrambled &  babbling radio signals we’ve been emitting for over a century, before moving on through the solar system taking in comets, asteroids and moons of Saturn and Jupiter. 

The album then leaves the solar system with Voyager 2, takes us to the deepest darkest interstellar voids before leaving us standing on the shore of an alien planet buzzing with life.

I wanted to base each piece on my emotional reaction to the location in question, which turns out to be a mixture of awe and even fear. These are after all, huge natural forces the scope of which is so much larger that our tiny lives. So when I think about places like the bootes void, millions of light years of nothing, I try to imagine what it would be like to be in the middle of that, just for a split second. A place so alien, dark and cold that it defies any human experience. It is that strangeness and mystery that I wanted to capture in my music. We are made of the same stuff as all of these structures. The universe exists within and without us.

I'm influenced by so many great musicians who've addressed this subject matter in the past. Eno & Tangerine Dream spring instantly to mind. But also nineties ambient like the sadly missed Pete Namlook, Monolake, modern classical composers like Max RIchter, Philip Glass and even drone rockers like Sun o:))). I was watching Star Trek alongside producing these and that is also a huge influence. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs."

Heavy Metal Rain On Venus (Atomic Weight Breakbeat Mix)

This work combined recording of acoustic instruments (violoncello and violin), synthesizer outputs and environmental sounds. My approach here is very close to anecdotal music: the sound sources became unimportant; they are merged together in a new context musically. The sounds left their original environments and meet in an unknown space.

Derrière cette apparence d’être, il y a la trace d’autre chose. Mais Quoi ? Il y a beaucoup de pays dans le pays de la mémoire. Où et quand l’arbre de la parole perdu, l’arbre de la parole retrouvé ? La Mère de vie universelle est l’Introductrice au Royaume. Ce qui est au cœur du très harmonieux, du très pur, du très tendre, c’est la Main de vie maternelle. Mais combien ignorent ou feignent d’ignorer qu’elle était l’esprit de ce qui allait arriver ? Ceux qui arrêtent le voyage sont déliés au lieu d’être reliés. La recherche de l’Autre ou d’autre chose est souvent dévoyée par les longues fatigues de soleils dans le mouvement continu des apparences. Les racines de l’arbre spirituel ont été coupées. L’expérience de renaître nous confronte à une dissémination des rêves de l’origine et nous fait basculer dans une autre étendue intérieure, mais qui est celle de la vérité essentielle qui nous a irrigué depuis la concavité matricielle. La Mère est quelque chose de plus grand que le territoire du Père. C’est Elle qui accueille en premier l’enfant qu’elle vient de mettre au monde. La couleur bleue de la Voie Clarté, de la mer et du cosmos les imbibe et les pénètre.

This disquiet0597 assignment inspired me to go someplace different:

1. Leave the beatless path for a bit. 

2. Write electronic, polyrhythmic, odd time sig material for a planned recording session later this year in London. 

3. Polypulse, polyrhythms, odd time signatures.


Visuals: On bus 23.
