Windman - Venus [FULL 2021 ALBUM]
This album wordlessly tells the tale of humans landing on a far off planet for the first time. It uses a wide variety of large ambient soundscapes and simple dance beats to portray the ups, downs, wonder, fear, victory, and defeat the people experience while they explore the foreign environments. Don't be afraid to take a dive into this gigantic world. After all, you may never want to leave.
This is my first double album. There are only 12 tracks though so that means each one is longer than usual. The first 6 tracks make up disc 1 and focus on percussion. The last 6 tracks make up disc 2 and focus on ambience. The lengths of these songs vary from 5 to 17 minutes. These tracks rely on large sweeping sample-based scores drenched in reverb and distortion, easily immersing any listener into the world of the album. This album draws inspiration from many artists from Steve Reich to The Orb to Global Communication to Carbon Based Lifeforms to 808 State. The variety to be found in just these 12 tracks is astounding!
Each track comes with a picture that was either created using Nvidia's GauGAN Beta or Artbreeder. The symbol in the center is the symbol for the planet Venus.
