Interstellar Odyssey by AEGYRE
“The time was fast approaching when Earth, like all mothers, must say farewell to her children.”
2001: A Space Odyssey - Arthur C. Clarke
It is a known theme in sci-fi books and movies that the day might come when people leave Earth in a starship to colonize another planet. This album is about the day when a group of intrepid explorers go on a quest for a new planet outside of our Solar System.
“Interstellar Odyssey" is Nimrod Scott’s fifth album of exploratory electronic music created within the Ambient and Space Music genres. Using a collection of synthesizers and an intentional imagination these tracks were realized in studio in the moment and recorded live with no overdubs.
The proceeds of this album will be donated to a charity, specifically to:
“MANNA FoodBank, located in Asheville, North Carolina, is a private, not-for-profit service organization working to end food insecurity in the 16 counties of Western North Carolina, including the Qualla Boundary. MANNA links the food industry to over 200 partner pantries and other human service organizations to get food to thousands of families’ tables.”
Manna Foodbank lost their entire multi million dollar food warehouse with food, freezers and equipment due to the impact of Hurricane Helene in September 2024. My wife and I were trapped for 5 days in the mountains after Helene hit and our already tight bond with Western North Carolina has been strengthened as we try to assist in the recovery.
Gratitude is extended to the members of BAEMG (Birmingham Alabama Electronic Music Group) for their continued inspiration and assistance rendered to this rookie musician.
Special thanks to Chuck Van Zyl host of "Stars End" on WXPN, Mike Hunter host of "Music With Space" on WPRB, Tony DiPoalo the host of "Sound + Vision" on WPPM, Kirk Reynolds the host of “The Luminous Chord” at KBRP, Mick Garlic from Sequences Podcast, and to SomaFM for providing air time for my music and for their specific encouragements over the years. Working with Robert Rich as he masters my album is an encouraging moment and I'm grateful for his contributions.
I am always grateful and humbled by the fans who have purchased my music, sent comments and encouraged him on this journey. It’s been exciting to find out that my music has been played, via streaming networks, in countries all over the globe.

A career in IT kept me busy for decades but another dimension of my life included writing poetry and refining my photographic realizations. These activities fed my soul. Later in life creating electronic music entered the door and changed my life. AEGYRE is the musical realization by Nimrod Scott.
