about

This is not a regular album, it's a series of drones/soundscapes suitable as backdrops for reading sci-fi, meditating, getting lightly hammered and that sort of thing. If you're looking for funky basslines, development, direction or human intervention of any kind, look elsewhere.

At the time of writing there are over 3,500 Exoplanets known to exist - i.e. planets beyond our own solar system. Artists are already trying to imagine what these might look like so I thought it high time someone imagined what some might sound like.

These tracks are based on a duet between my EMS Synthi AKS and my Eurorack/Digisound modular system. All the 'work' is done prior to hitting record, after which the synths are left running unattended for at least 15 mins before I allow myself to touch a knob and add any significant changes. For those interested I'll paste in my notes made at the time about modules used and the type of Exoplanet I was imagining.

I leave these kind of sounds running for many hours in the studio, this is just an impression but one you might find a use for.

My thanks to Andy Pickford who not only did a superb job of mastering but who provided a more professional cover (included as one of the track's artwork) which was so good I felt it oversold the album. I repeatn: this isn't regular music. Put it on at a fairly low level and forget about it. Put it on as you go to sleep if you want weird dreams. :)

about

Paul Nagle Lancashire, UK

Paul has been writing and performing electronic music since the late 1970s influenced mainly by German musicians such as Roedelius and Schnitzler and bands such as Tangerine Dream and Cluster. However, all musical niches are considered fair game and failure is deemed more noble than non-participation. ... more

Harmonics in The Silence
by Andy Pickford

supported by 18 fans who also own “Exoplanets volume 1”

Andy thrilled me with Replicant in the early 90s, and in my opionion his warm sound and perfect sense for harmonies is as ingenious as works by JMJ and so on. I had the honor to interview him for a German music magazine (and it was the editor's decision to cancel that), and then I lost contact to him and his music while starting my own modest music career. I'm glad that I have found "Hamonics in the Silence" - an awesome 3 hours album, spacey and dreamy, and Andy's sequences still rock! Nostalgic Conspiracy

The Lost Cathedral Rehearsal
by Kubusschnitt

supported by 16 fans who also own “Exoplanets volume 1”

This would be a great soundtrack to the Voyager 1 space probe as it travels past enormous planets and stars towards....where? Track begins with a low, bass hum that builds into a a beautiful choir of sound and ends up as classic 70s 80s electronic journey..so sad it's only 1 track, although over 20 minutes...if you like Berlin-School this is a must have!.
