andorra 117 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Artist: Ascendant Album: Meridian Label: Synphaera Type: Album Style tags: Ambient, Psybient, Downtempo, Space, Media type: DIGITAL Year: 2016 10,000 years from now. 10,000 light years from here. A New Land, come of age into a time of abundance, transcendence and enlightenment. The Age of Earth and Stone, where… An enlightened man exists alongside post-singularity machine AI that manifest as floating coils of light. Frozen clouds are summoned and then flash-melted to provide the planet’s water, and liquid has memory. A planet where habitats the size, shape & semblance of mountains hover over large bodies of water. A planet where enormous belts of sub-orbital forests scrub the ozone and provide oxygen. A world where gravity bends, but time does not. A world of alchemical transmutation, elemental summoning, and abundance. The Age of Earth and Stone. Meridian.

andorra 117 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Very nice album from Ascendant with more ambient and space soundscapes than the last one (Ethereal Code). Mellow and moody atmosphere. Love those pads and synths Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spinnet (One Arc Degree) 89 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 review by Mike G @ Ambient Music Guide' Best Albums of 2016: The Synphaera sound is deeply Berlin school-influenced but with an ambient dance sensibility; a smooth, panoramic style of cosmic psychedelic bleep music that French label Ultimae Records originally championed. The Meridian album by Ascendant (label founders Chris Bryant and Don Tyler) is quintessential ambient trance: lush and mysterious music with spinning arpeggios above gliding pads and discreet rhythmic pulses. “Arcology†is a dark-edged stunner with its haunting chorales, odd delay effects and sound design that has an uncommonly deep depth of field. 1 Phase47 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
