British producer, Ben Frascina, has been tuning in ears with the beautiful atmospheric music he brings to life under the moniker Skylab 3. Influenced by a myriad of dynamic music pioneers from DJ Shadow to Massive Attack to Wu-Tang Clan, he cultivates an eclectic and entrancing catalog that allows fans to transcend reality. Frascina is currently preparing to unleash a new full-length album, A VIEW FROM ABOVE, via Babygrande Records on June 10th, 2016. The projects title track is the first single off the record and provides a perfect introduction to the sonic adventure in store for the rest of the album. Building off the orchestral, sensory-captivating style of his music, Frascina dreamed up a mesmerizing cinematic treatment for the “A View From Above” music video. As you follow the storyline the song serves as the soundtrack, enhancing the narrative and truly bringing the story to life. 

Skylab 3 comes from a musical family and was exposed to a great many kinds of music and instruments. Skylab 3, aka Ben Frascina, learned to play keyboards at the age of 9 and guitar at the age of 11.  “I’ve always been compelled to create music and share it with others,” he states. His love for hip-hop beats played a huge part in the creation of the featured tracks on the A VIEW FROM ABOVE album.

Whether the album name refers to the feeling you get when looking at a landscape from a tall building, mountain, airplane, from outer space, whether it refers to being happy or even being in an altered state of mind as a result of drugs or other spiritual methods practiced by different cultures is up to the listener entirely. Frascina’s intent is to take the listener on a journey – a sonically dynamic escape from reality by getting lost in the spacey, atmospheric soundscapes that make up the album.

A VIEW FROM ABOVE was recorded in Sheffield, England and at Frascina’s home in Cardiff, Wales. He produced and engineered the album using his MacBook and a pair of KRK Rokit 5 monitors. The main DAW used was Logic 9, and many VST instruments, Plugins (for compression, effects, re-amping etc) and audio samples containing drum hits, vocals, various sound effects and speech, which he used in tracks on the album. In addition, the album was mastered by Daddy Kev at Cosmic Zoo.
