Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Apsis is released as a counterpart to its original composition, an alien sonic world, like a visitor on foreign lands. Harmonic angelic sequences continuously ebb and flow, slowly moving, like the tides meet an estuary. Slowly evolving electric currents fluctuate in their purest essence possessing the closest reach towards a pure analog sound experience in the original 60+ minute form.

about

In reflection of the extraordinary phenomena in our universe, the variant project has reemerged to produce an immersive sonic landscape, recorded specifically to soundtrack for the Total Solar Eclipse which took place on August 21, 2017. The sound art painted here is deeply emotive, engaging and emotionally one of the most inspired in his entire discography. Includes a hauntingly beautiful digital bonus song made exclusively with sounds from forthcoming, "Echoes In Space" [Volume 2] sound library. This epic sound world has been nearly 5 years in the making and features what we would consider the most engaging sound designs to date. A sonic universe all its own.
