Description

Cosmic Lullabies is the sixth album from the Finnish ambient producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina, cosmic and meditative in its style and spirit.

The opening track Bell Meditation is a pure meditation song based on huge bell sounds that resonate and vibrate for extended periods of time. Gradually rising ethereal echoes from sacred eastern choral tradition mix with the bells to form a calm and majestic cosmic setting, perfect for deep relaxation and meditation.

The starting point for Neptune was Lena's beautiful impressionistic piano improvisation moving in G# Minor, "the bluest of musical modes", as Lena puts it. The piano then gets surrounded by a mysterious and meditative ambient soundworld. The entire 17 minute song can be interpreted as a long, symbolic probe-like dive through the blue, dreamlike gas layers of Neptune to ever deeper and darker realms, all the way down to the solid rock and metal core of the planet, and from there back to the starlight.

The final track Andromeda is an ambient voyage into the majestic sphere of our neighbour galaxy.

Ambient with big A. Not falling into the general new-age type easy listening, these soundscapes rise from the depths of the cosmos, bringing stardust and starlight alongside. The listener is sent on a journey through deep waters and cold emptiness of space. The sounds and engineering is sublime and atmospheres are woven together with accuracy and vision. I enjoyed the piano improvisation a lot also, brought welcome extra layer to the mix. Excellent work overall.

There's lot of Serrie, Eno and Jarre here, but in deep slumber, as if they were in cryo sleep.

The atmosphere of eternity, cold overwhelming space, allogeneity of space bodies and processes is very well transferred. However it bewitches and draws.
Thanx for the art!

Not what I'd normally seek out, to be honest, but I have really enjoyed having this playing as I work. I don't feel qualified to comment really. I'll have to start researching ambient music.

Beautiful, though.
