Monolith by The Soviet Space Dog Project

Here are three tracks grouped together under the theme of “Monolith”. As there seems to be a high correlation between listening to this style of electronic music and reading or watching science fiction themed material, the title and the tracks may make sense immediately. As with all of my releases, it’s more what may have been circling my personal space at the time of recording, rather than being a direct representation.

To put it right out there, all of these tracks have been created 100% “in the box”, i.e. with software instruments. I’ve done my best to make them take the qualities of the original hardware as much as I can, which includes working carefully all of the way through the process. I make no bones about it as I have neither the space nor the money (in some cases) to be surrounded by hardware.

Everything is as live as it can be and I’ve included a bonus track that is me playing a set of solos over the backing sequences. I then extracted my favourite to form the track “Grand Central”. The track “Tycho” was recorded just the night before issue and it gets a little excitable in places, so my apologies in advance.

I'm told that I should be surprising people. I hope that opening note does that for some.

The Soviet Space Dog Project is being manned by Andy Bloyce, a Londoner who has been listening to Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream for over 40 years.
It's nearly time for a sit-down.
