ChromaLight explores the connection between sound and light, the colors we associate with musical notes and scales, and how we can tap in to the harmony between them. We’re excited to share with you, the mixed and mastered, multi track recordings from this incredible moment in time. One of the most special experiences in our 25+ years as a band!

Baggage

Interior Evenings is the first in a series of sound portraits exploring the art of being alone. Each piece lives in that suspended moment between day and night -  where the noise fades, the room settles, and the mind starts to wander.

Built from textures, tone, and stillness, it’s music engineered for emotional clarity -  spacious, cinematic, and unapologetically personal. Designed to fill the room without taking it over.
For those who prefer their own company.

The quiet isn’t lonely -  it’s intentional.

5/8/2012: Pretty Lights - Speaking Of Happiness

Not Never

20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."
