Thierry Moreau - Graphic Designer One would like to find oneself in a Californian desert, at night, observing all the visual and sound incidences, one takes oneself to dream of the coming of beings from beyond space, all in a poetic sublimation. Everything is vibrant, in perfect osmosis of sounds, timbres, balance in the abyss of the composition. I like to imagine this music as an extension of Lux Aeterna by Ligeti. Favorite track: Quantum Multiverse.

about

In this new album, I try to imagine the physical, visual and sound experience of an airline crew confronted, for a few seconds, with an unidentified flying object and an abnormal physical phenomenon.

A few seconds, therefore, of a Close encounter, which, in the lived and subjective time of the pilots, last an infinite time...

Imagine the scene: the cockpit of the plane is suddenly invaded by an unreal light... All the instruments on board are frozen. Outside, the sky is crossed by luminous points moving at very high speed, in a multidimensional geometry...

And strange harmonics invade the plane, a music that is not heard by the ears, but by the cranium and the whole body...

I tried to imagine and create an ambient, cosmic, immersive, unreal music to translate into sounds this unprecedented psychedelic experience...
