Luminiferous Aether by Tripp Mirror

A journey through the depths of space and sound, Luminiferous Aether unites the desolate simplistic beauty of analog synthesis (Tripp Mirror) with awe-inspiring telescopic images of astronomical phenomena (Mark Corner a.k.a. Corner Of The Universe).

Just as sound requires the medium of air to travel through, it was at one time proposed that light also needed such a means of transmission; thus the concept of the luminiferous aether was born.
Now a long-since disproved and debunked notion, the name still conjures thoughts of racing through the night sky on a light beam, destined for the edge of the galaxy and beyond.

Each track on this release is named for and matched with an image of a nebula or stellar cluster observed in the night sky over Belfast taken by Mark, paired with Tripp's sparse yet evocative electronic meanderings.
