solarscapes
Immersive Sound Sculpture
"9:22, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did ...and for a moment I understood."
Maximillian Cohen, PI (1998)
Originating in 2012 (multiple releases under the Petar Alargic act for Magnatune (US) / ArtisTech Media (US)) and evolving into a fully designated act in 2023, Solarscapes represent a symphony orchestra re-imagined, an immersion stimuli of gigantic proportions, outer-wordly yet organic, making time stand still.
"Once, I tried to imagine how it would feel to walk up into the chord itself and be fully immersed in the sound. Like standing in the solstice perspective, where everything may seem frozen, yet the movement is undeniable.
Visceral.
Soaked in vibration.
Drowning."

"There's a certain filmic quality... Hecker-esque in its ability to access the consciousness, both filling and pulling fragments."

"Majstor ambijentalnog zvuka... 25 minuta težine i vakuuma — nešto kao muzika kraja sveta."
(Master of ambient sound... 25 minutes of weight and vacuum — something like the soundtrack to the end of the world.)
