Description
Soundtracks for storytellers, scientists, and the headphone set. Film scores without films. 'Sentient Vortex' is an electronic album inspired in part by the works of Philip K. Dick, an American science fiction novelist (December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982).
Notes
Toiling in self-imposed musical obscurity since 1999, Distance to Jupiter is one person: James Kracht, an author and graphic designer living in Phoenix, Arizona. The original goal of the project was to create engaging music with a minimum set of hardware, leveraging a maximum approach to minimalism. The composition and recording process usually included only a few pieces of gear (a synthesizer with a sequencer and sampler), and all tracks were recorded as live performances, direct to MiniDisc. Early reviews were positive: "DTJ's tracks have the same cold sterility of abandoned metropolis streets at 4 AM. Sparse, prickly rhythms scuttle across gray pads as eerie melodies rise and fall almost imperceptibly." In 2005, Distance to Jupiter made the shift into software-based music composition, leaving the old hardware-based minimalist approach behind (though the minimalist ethos still applies to the process). The project has continued to produce eerie, uncanny "aural places" - resulting in a voluminous body of work. Distance to Jupiter's 18th album "Sentient Vortex" continues the "film scores without films" approach that has dominated the last decade of output. These songs are soundtracks for scientists, stoners, storytellers and the headphone set. Turn down the lights.
