Frithland's debut albums out now
Both his albums
and his music are inspired by one of Frithland’s favourite artist: Jean Michael
Jarre.
The album
“Ascending” is inspired by sci-fi movies and games, and this inspiration is
particularly expressed in the tracks “Ascending” and “Primed Adagio”. “Warped” is meant as a dance track. While “Lilly”, dedicated to the artist’s grandmother, is the
only track of the album which include bass guitar and flute. “Gone too soon”
has been written in memory of his nephew, who passed away prematurely. Track “Gaia”
has been named after the synthesizer used for the pulse which starts the
piece.
The album
“Driven Dreams” is titled for the need to drive ones dreams and never give up.
Again like in “Ascending”, the space and sci-fi fantasy theme is continued,
especially with tracks such as “Orbit”, “Nebulous”, “Off World” and
“Celeste”. “Sefton Park Abstract” was
part of a video footage Frithland shot for a University project at Sefton Park
in Liverpool . “Water Gate” was originally wrote for his son in 1996.
“Artifact” is dedicated to the writing of Graham Hancock who wrote, among
others, the book “The Fingerprints of the Gods”.
“Ascending”
and “Driven Dreams” are two wonderful
albums that reinvent the sounds of electronic music in a whole new way.
“Ascending”
and “Driven Dreams” are now available for sale and streaming in the best online
shops and music website worldwide.
