Heliosphere is a set of spacey ambient drones, more cold than dark. These were produced using processed improvisations recorded on 14th March 2007, originally intended as background drones for another project. As they were not used, further overdubs, recorded on 20th and 29th April 2007, were added to complete the compositions. 

Heliosphere is  available to stream and download free from the Internet Archive. It is also now available to purchase from the merchandise page.

Equipment used:

EMU XL7, Kawai K5000R, Korg Mono/Poly, Oberheim Matrix 12, Sequential Prophet 5, Sequential Prophet VS, Waldorf Microwave II, Processed Vocal Samples.

Wow. 'Deep Space' is certainly the descriptive word here! I totally feel it ! It doesn't strike me as cold per se but maybe cold in that Deep Space is just that way. The feeling is definitely deep and all inclusive. Massive soundscape! I was listening to the Flash player then went for the 192 bitrate one so I could get the full impact. I could imagine this in a planetarium with awesome visuals. Very cool and well produced too.

Have downloded your album Heliosphere. Nice mixture of high and low drones, more diverse than 'Zeta Reticuli' and for me certainly more listenable. Seeing the development I can imagine you want to use some sequencing in your next recordings. Looking forward to this.
Interstellar Space is by far the strongest piece. Cold winds blowing between icy glaciers and yet there is e sense of warmth. You say these are cold drones, I disagree, I think you are a lyrical romanticist painting a warm picture.

The female alien cry (thats what I think it is) in solar wind has stolen my heart. Nice album - best tracks; solar wind and interstellar space. And indeed a forward progression from zeta reticuli. (maybe because of the more versatile equipment?).

This is the kind of desolate sound that would emanate from Skaro.

Space music. A heavy duty arsenal of synthesizers was used to craft these highly suggestive, swirling sounds.
Too much change-up to be drone. Not quiet enough to be ambient. This is a trip into space, where meteors and comets are flashing by.
ENJOY!

That was lovely. Thanks for making it available.

Astounding - Excellent album of shifting soundscapes.

Space Is Deep Indeed! - Another line in the dark sand of ambient is crossed with this second sequencer free Modulator ESP recording. Lets hope that these become at least an annual event! Excellent stuff.

Great! - Nice contrast to dark drones, good in a mix. More for Modulator, please!
