Cassini EP by Rory Lavelle
A musical tribute to NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, which came to a spectacular conclusion on September 15th 2017.
The music on this space-themed EP was inspired by the cosmic sounds of tropicalia, 70s funk, lounge and bossanova. I decided early on that there would be no pianos - just clavinets, synths, phasers, drum machines, and maybe the occasional flute or oboe thrown in for good measure.
"If this new / Astronomy textbook's true / We're going to have to do / Impossible things / Like sail precise machines through Saturn's rings"
