about

Solar Panels on the Moon, the first work released under Timothy Isherwood’s new moniker, is a collection of restrained, yet poignant ambient soundscapes. Meditative field recordings permeate throughout the album. Whether Athenian buskers, or Polish street bazaars, ambient sound splices with the weight of visceral, droning chords. The radiance of classic analogue synthesizers lends warmth and gravity to the otherwise transitory album. Elsewhere, affecting compositions, like “Areopagus” and “Mintaka,” use a variety of found instruments to further highlight the collection’s ambiguities.

The album, which features eight original pieces, is a meditation on the inevitable dissolution of earth’s resources and its singular solution, which remains shrouded in simplicity.
