Places by Astronaut Club
Following the suit of the progressively refining temperaments of his music, Tom McCone (aka. Astronaut Club, for the moment at least) pulled together this small album over a week-ish, inspired by having enough motivation to actually do something for once, a radical shift in mindspace and some seriously good weather.
'Places' represents a different style of musical composition from other Astronaut Club releases, featuring much more multitracked pieces, layered field recordings, quasi-fugal guitar work and faux-contrapuntal keyboard segues, not to mention what could be considered as spoken word overlays.
Aesthetic inspirations: talons', Silian Rail, Goldmund
{I hope you enjoy this work as much as I've enjoyed the creative process involving it.}
Recorded over the period of 27 January through 1 February [2013]
