about

Space has always been a constant inspiration for me. The scale of planets and distant galaxies forces us to think from a bigger perspective. Seeing the bigger picture beyond one person, one group of people or even one country ensures that humanity (and our home planet) prospers also in the future.

This album consists of tracks composed between 2004 and 2016. All tracks are remastered for this album, some remixed or recreated more extensively than others.

Track notes:
1. Atmospheric Entry (composed 2012/2016) - Used gear: Novation X-Station.
2. Biosphere Generation (2010) - This one's in pretty odd 11/8 time signature
3. INMS (2013) - I like to use cross-rhythms and there's a lot of interplay between sequences of different lengths here.
4. Ode to Woolly Socks (2013) - Space is cold so you better come prepared.
5. New Home (2011) - Used gear: Roland Lucina.
6. Ringworld (2011) - I actually read Niven's Ringworld only recently. Used gear: Korg Monotron.
7. Stellar Wake (2010/2016 remake)
8. Mare Tranquillitatis (2004/2016 remake) - One of the first Cirrus Alpha tracks inspired by the Apollo 11 mission.
9. Prospective Earths (2011/2016)
10. Stillness of Its Surface (2011)
11. Renewal (2012)
