UNIVERSICA

Universica, my third album, represents a departure from the stylistic boundaries set up by my previous releases. The music retains a progressive sensibility while striving to create textures and ambiance that are truly unique. Each song bears the name of a star, evoking feelings of a journey through the cosmos.

My focus was on developing a thick atmosphere and very moody, emotional compositions. The use of dirty distortion and intentionally lo-fi sounds lends an almost industrial element to some of the tracks, whereas the extensive layering of synthetic and organic sounds gives an ethereal and space-like feel to other parts. There is a greater electronic presence in this album, used to thicken the mix and create a wall of evolving sound.

As with the rest of my music, Universica is released for free under a Creative Commons License. If you enjoy the music, please consider purchasing a copy.
