about

CD also available from Databloem: databloem.com/home/1895-canopy-of-stars-darkness-and-light.html

During the period leading up to the beginnings of this album I found myself listening to a great deal of Japanese electronic music, including the 'Kankyo Ongaku' ambient compilation, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Satoshi Ashikawa and the Yellow Magic Orchestra. As if to demonstrate the influence of the subconscious on the creative processes most of the tunes that began to emerge in the moments before sleep were oriental in style.

At this time, the world was also plunged into pandemic lockdown. This shadowy period was ultimately reflected in a collection of music journeying through darkness and light, always yearning for, and often arriving at the latter. Conversely, on completing the album, which had a running order from the early stages of recording, I realised that it begins with 'A New Day', ending with sunset and finally night.

There's a warmth to this album that I love. The melodies are beautifully performed, off the grid with lots of interesting turns, and the effect processing is masterfully dialed-in, creating this really lush and wide sound. Ali Khan

What a sublime album. Can't choose my favorite track. One moment it's Cloud Surfing, another moment it's Rings of Saturn, and now it's Currents of Space 2. Loving every moment of this crystal clear production, filled with lusty moving synths, sparkling ambient techno. It's just stunning. Nico Baars
