Keys to Cassiopeia has enough lush ambient tones and a dose of vibrant emotion to move the listener into a functional and profound state of contemplation in touch with metaphysics and the unknown.
Contemporary and kinetic environmental sculptures.
Imre Kiss is a dazzling sound designer and producer of electronic space music with a cinematic edge. He released a few albums in relative discretion, taking its source and heritage from early synthetic-waving avant-gardism of the 70s and 80s with the addition of a highly emotional and deeply moving melodious inclination; sometimes delightful, overwhelming, and of sorrowful evocative beauty. Enveloping dreamily, textures are in conversation with sonic-venturing sounds, often imaginative, delicately introspective, resonating at and fleeting in emotional vastness.
Keys to Cassiopeia is an invitation to neuronal spacey voyages breaking out the limits of consciousness to reach infinite quietness in synesthesia with our surrounding universe. Micro mind travel reaching the universal. The orchestration is mainly synthetic-based, playing with harmoniously combined soft pads, motion, movement and flittering textures. This release does not renew any genre or push intrinsic boundaries to create something completely new, but the whole compositional plan is efficient, with reverence to established skills and techniques in electronic space music.
The album also has enough lush ambient tones and a dose of vibrant emotion to move the listener into a functional and profound state of contemplation in touch with metaphysics and the unknown. The sound is fresh and modern for fans of odd vintage progressive instrumental music from cosmic synth wizards such as Neuronium, Zadov, Michael Stearns, Sven Grunberg, Tetsu Inoue, and also Mark Pritchard, Alessandro Cortini, or Biosphere—contemporary and kinetic environmental sculptures.
Keys to Cassiopeia is available on EXILES. [Bandcamp]
