[co-ordinates of location delivered with message] Neon Blue Utopia is the 16th album by space-faring Australian composer deepspace and his fifth on Projekt Records. Fusing ambient, electronic, spacewave, dreamwave, shoegaze and post-rock, deepspace creates a tantalizing and dream-like wide-screen experience filled with hypnotic fractal detail and immersive sound dimensions. Embellishing on the last studio album THE BLACK ORCHID GALAXIES, this release meticulously pushes the deepspace sound into new and unexpected sectors. Through detuned synths, droning guitars, shimmering infinite washes, occasional filtered drums and hyper-real found sounds, it’s a kaleidoscope of fragments not unlike a technological aural reef — soaking, submerging and surrounding the auditory senses. Like something out of an Iain M. Banks novel, Neon Blue Utopia portrays a place from deep inside the collectively-created musings of science-fiction thought: A vast megacity, hanging somewhere in the cosmos, a place of liminal wonder, bizarre and unclassifiable, comforting yet frightening. A place exists, of immeasurably advanced technology (powered by recently discovered mineral, neon blue), where visitors can visit algeous underwater precincts, where inhabitants are suspended in breathable liquid, going about their day; immense towers where one can parkour up high without danger; biomes with forests and buildings inside rooms on hidden floors of apartments; suburbs filled with huge soft bubbles that pulsate sound; highways of upside-down plasma-powered cars; near-infinite vistas thousands of kilometres high above a nearby planet. The music suggests these seemingly impossible ideas by sonically representing places that are vast, oddly microscopic and everything in between. This album is the most surreal and luminescent voyage yet in the deepspace catalogue. Says deepspace (Mirko): “I had a dream where I took an elevator to a particular floor of a building. When I entered a door on that floor, it opened into a huge room filled with a forest, with an entire city centre inside it. The ceiling was several hundred metres high complete with clouds and stars, and the buildings were not full-size but an uncanny “dreamsize” in between, maybe 5 or 10 metres high, like a model city, but with actual shop fronts inside them. It was wonderfully surreal. I took that idea and expanded it to other areas, such as a huge megacity with different precincts containing marvelously unusual features, such as aquariums the size of buildings and other weird dream-like features. This turned into the idea of Neon Blue Utopia.” No AI was used in the creation of this music and cover artwork. Every sound and image was composed, arranged, performed and edited by brain, eye, ear and hand. |
