deepspace :: The Atlas Sector (Projekt)

Share this ::

Part vintage sci-fi soundtrack, part floating ambient propulsion, The Atlas Sector is immersive, emotionally resonant, and quietly transportive.

Wide-open sonic vistas intertwine vintage synthesizer sci-fi motifs, ambient blips and bleeps, and drifting atmospheric modulations throughout The Atlas Sector, the eighth album by deepspace, aka Australian musician Mirko Ruckels. Across twenty pieces, Ruckels carefully layers shimmering tones, resonant drones, and downtempo rhythms into an expansive electronic journey, evoking distant worlds and imagined futures.

Accompanying the album is a companion gamebook, an interactive exploration of the Atlas system that extends its universe beyond sound, ​available to listeners at projekt.com/atlas.html. It is world-building in the truest sense: “the album as terrain, the listener as explorer.” Twenty tracks, four planets, one suite each. Atlas 8, Atlas Minor, Atlas Null, and Atlas Prime form a fictional system set far into the future, with Ruckels delivering an otherworldly meditation on time and space. Part vintage sci-fi soundtrack, part floating ambient propulsion, The Atlas Sector is immersive, emotionally resonant, and quietly transportive.
