This music developed linked to sensations of rising and flying over the mountains, as lived in dreams, as well as a symbol of transcending our limits by the realization of higher levels of consciousness.

PRESS:

"The final entry in Tatsu’s batch comes courtesy of Spanish ambient monster Lunaria. The excerpt we have from “A Higher Energy Realm,” taken from the artist’s Ascension Now release, hits the sweet spot with severely blissed-out synthscapes ready for your jamming pleasure." – Tiny Mix Tapes

"Applying spiritual terminology to ambient releases is nothing new, but in this case, the title is everything. Half of this release is a steady climb into mystical realms above the clouds. The other half, a life lived in that transcendent place. This is music for cleansing, healing, reconnecting. There are no sharp edges. All is light." – Tabs Out

"Immediate sensation of something stellar happening spirals here up and down with enough harmonic saturation to bring gentle psychedelic effect. Something similar to which I always admired in David Parsons and Mathias Grassow's pioneering works, and in the ambient new age in general – heady drones lifting your mind up from the routine and small thoughts. Up to the planes of pure experience of the moment, to acceptance of things how they are right here and right now... " – Microphones in the trees!

"Lunaria is a project which generates the kind of ambient music that envelops the listener in peaceful aural sound-blankets. Guillén’s work is wonderfully patient and deceptively simple. The layers produced float in and out of each other’s orbits while congealing to create a hypnotic atmosphere. ... Daniel Guillén is a patient, careful composer who creates striking ambient pieces that sooth and calm the listener." – Somewherecold

"You get a feeling of weightlessness in the music ... In a way this is a soundtrack to lying on your back on grass and staring into the night sky." – Drifting, Almost Falling

"Once PLAY has been pressed, Spain’s Daniel Guillén pulls every trick in the New-Age-Old Handbook to hook us into his panned, reverb + phaser-filled tractor beams, gently transporting us to this precipice/utopia/be-all-end-all-vantage-point. ... While this album could easily be the perfect yoga soundtrack of the millennia (did I mention how expertly timed the phaser is, alongside deep breathing?), I’m more than willing to bet that your blaring it from the bedroom hi-fi will get them neighbors chill/relaxed/mindful enough to wait until at LEAST 9am, before mowing their lawns, from now on. Forever-ever." – Cassette Gods

"I wish they played and sold music like this at new age bookstores. Purely uplifting and relaxing without being cheesy or seeming like it’s catering to a niche audience ... this tape is serene and enjoyable." – The Answer Is In The Beat

"With each new release, Lunaria ascends to a new plane of quality, deepness, and awareness of its sound. As blooming fractal of thousand of petals, its sound takes the mind out of mundane reality and puts it right into the place. Place, where we all need to be at least sometimes. Just not to forget who we are and where are we heading." – Microphones in the trees! "Rewind 2018"

"Está claro que Guillén conoce bien el terreno del ambient y la electronic music, la música "planeadora" de la Escuela de Berlín (Klaus Schulze, Ash Ra Tempel) y la música cósmica, trascendental e introspectiva, practicada por gente como Robert Rich, Jonn Serrie o Constance Demby (...) Ascension Now está planteado, y ya su título lo anuncia, como un viaje interior en busca de un nivel más alto de conciencia. (...) Las capas de sonido evocan amplios paisajes en los que, pese a lo estático de las dos piezas que componen el trabajo, pasan muchas más cosas de lo que parece." – Otras músicas. Otros mundos.
