Carnelian Moon

‘A mysterious planetoid shaped object appears in the solar system. Dubbed the Carnelian Moon, a team of astronauts using the spacecraft Nabamcam are sent out to explore this new strange celestial body’.

This instrumental album is my homage to 50s science fiction and is also inspired by the Mercury & Apollo missions and its astronauts (Nabamcam is an anagram of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Micheal Collins, Apollo Misson). 

Another great influence in making this album was the pioneering women of electronic music, who I discovered while making this album. The incredible sounds and tones these musicians created was a huge inspiration.
