Solarscapes EPK (Electronic Press Kit) Project Name: Solarscapes Genre: Ambient Drone Soundscapes Description: Lose yourself in the ambient drone soundscapes of Solarscapes. Each composition offers a deep dive into a world bathed in sunlight, resonating with fans of Tim Hecker, Brian Eno, and Benoît Pioulard. Artist Statement: 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 still, yet the movement is undeniable. Visceral. Soaked in vibration. Drowning. Akin to the experience of huge format paintings, the size of a wall, or even sculptures of land art visible from outer space, Solarscapes intends to become an immersive experience. It’s about being swallowed by vibration, drowned in sound, hence the format and the mantric droning repetition. Origins: The origin of this style traces back to around 2012 when Petar Alargić created the first piece of this kind, released through Magnatune in the US. The following year, two more pieces completed the first triad of these new, but soon to become trademark style pieces. Initially released under Petar Alargić's full name, the project evolved and, since 2023, is known as Solarscapes. This marks a dedicated shift to a completely drone ambient soundscape project, one of the most unique and exciting ventures of the artist.
