Sailor of the Astral Sea

by Sailor of the Astral Sea

supported by

mahrgdidj Laser focused to deliver profound and very specific feelings. A dizzying, tranquil melancholy bubbles under the insistent synth beds. The poetry and music together magnify that effect to stunning results, a beautiful work.

yukihanakitsune A series of gently intense tracks that speak beautiful and terrible stories of travels, life, death, and the simple bliss of being a part of something so, so much more grand than anything that could ever be expressed or comprehended.

This is the kind of music to listen to while exploring oneself, while exploring the cosmos, or while simply exploring, full stop.

A thousand thousand stars, in seven songs. Favorite track: i am being shuffled from place to place in an idyllic coastal town. i catch a glimpse of the beach, and run towards it, but reality itself conspires to ensure i am somehow waylaid. this cycle repeats, and the sea cries out for me..

Jenn Taiga A truly glorious reflection rife with imagination and evocation, "Sailor of the Astral Sea" calls upon tonality and timbrality reminiscent of the masters of cosmic music/kosmische to carry the listener into and beyond themself. This debut better fucking get a release on tape, else I'm going to be *pissed* Favorite track: i am defeating my enemies, and reconciling with those i have wronged, and speaking with those i have lost..

Evergreen A glorious journey of atmospheric astral projection unlike anything I have ever heard. Phenomenal atmosphere and melodies throughout. This album feels psychedelic in the truest sense of the word.

1.	i am a child watching impossibly complex multicolored explosions devour a city. my skin feels electric, and i am calm, knowing the appetite of the storm will be sated long before it meets me. 04:55	buy track
2.	i am stranded in a world of endless concrete pools. bright light in the water down below illuminates machines, and people tending to them, and when i dive to meet them, i drown. 03:29	buy track
3.	i am swinging on ropes and vines above crumbling volcanic islands. i lose my grip and slowly fall into the gaps between, where i am gradually burned into a shimmering mist. the entire descent is blissful. 04:19	buy track
4.	i am travelling through the wilderness on distorted, treacherous, nonsensical roads. i fear for my life often, but occasionally i am rewarded with vistas of nature that are almost violent in their extravagant beauty. 04:35	buy track

7.	i am exploring the infinite hotel, where i am entirely alone, or surrounded by people who cannot help me, or in the distinct presence of something unseen and sinister. some rooms are old and rotten, some rooms are clean and new, others contain lost memories. 04:48	buy track

this album is naive, first time midi keyboard playing through hifi synths with forgiving envelopes. it was made with no metronome or quantization to accentuate the flaws in my internal clock.

big love to Mo and Jenn for the cover and logo, and also for being incredible artists who inspire me immensely

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
