Los Angeles-based composer Michael Robinson premiered his new album, Queen of Space.

From the Queen of Space liner notes by Michael Robinson:

“A glistening, penetrating clavier-harpsichord born from my first-time usage of the historic Jupiter 8 synthesizer colors the central melodic voice of Queen of Space. Raga Natabhairavi provides a dark tonal setting for serpentining arabesques of melodic exploration weaving like coral reef snakes through seven-matra drum and cymbal talas.”

“There are affinities with the paintings of Gustav Klimt whereupon the influence of Byzantine mosaics imparted a related glimmering quality to his inventions. Additionally, my usage of the Jupiter 8 recalls both the Persian santur and the plucking of strings inside a piano.”
