Album 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.

with this album doc explores new ground as he takes us on a majestic ride through the galaxies of sound and silence.an album to space out too in a most zen like way

Tolling bell, plangent summoning, to hear, to see thousands of flames and cold echoes of shadows.

Thank you for taking me into space - having always wanted to go into those unreachable heavens -the joy of visiting that blue planet, Neptune, was sublimely spellbinding. The piano taking us in was surely azure and conjured a vision of starlit indigo as we left Neptune.
Profoundly sonorous and calmative, that trip to Andromeda - it cured my headache- to travel two million light years away from this heavy earth.

Thanks for the magic you created.

I think I almost stopped breathing whilst listening to "Bell Meditation". Completely mind-meltingly beautiful, perfect for a lingering, whimsical journey into your own psyche (...or just for drifting off to sleep, heh.) Lovely.

Bell Meditation and Andromeda were similar, which suited me fine as they were incredible. I relaxed on the floor and was on the verge of a dreamlike state as my mind ventured deep into my subconcious. Neptune was also very good, but with a slightly different feel because of the piano, but still an excellent piece. I couldn't get my young children to appreciate the powerful simplicity of the pieces though. Y'know kids, can't keep still for more than a minute.

Like KraftiM says, there is little to be said, other than sit back and enjoy. Any analysis has been done by the artists involved. Bell Meditation is perfect, cosmic campanology, strangely a bell often calls me through the veil, either that or a knock. Neptune is wonderfully constructed with lovely excerpts of piano. There is a certitude with Doc and Lena's music, that I think is quite rare and obviously a good combination. Andromeda is a beautifully resonating track.

What I will say, and I might be completely off the mark, but the deeper bell ringing in Bell Meditation almost sounded as they were underwater. Neptune was a god of the sea, and mythologically Andromeda was sacrificed to the sea. Even the elements of the constellation refer constantly to the sea. I know it's a mixture of Greek and Roman mythology, but it sprang to mind. Very emotional element, water. Very good music, Doc and Lena. Thanks.
