⁣From the album Origin Suite.

Music inspired by the science fiction book series origin by auteur
Nathaniel Dean James

When I read the first book, I read it over the course of a weekend.
Written in a fast pace it kept my mind busy for a long while after I
finished it. I just could not get the story and the mise en scene out of
my head and these slipped into some “free work”.
After two pieces clearly influenced by “my version of a score of these
books” I composed four other pieces of this “SciFi music“, each with a
specific scene or event in mind.

I’ve always been fascinated with space and science fiction. I remember
looking at pictures in the encyclopedia of my parents of the golden
record that was on the voyager spacecraft. I like creating atmospheres
with synthesizers and combine these with sound design and orchestral
instruments.
The scraping sound in “Is he controlling that thing” for example is the
mangled recording of a beater scraping on a window sill.
I also did some patch design on my Roland JD800 synthesizer which was
fun since most of my work is “in the box” nowadays. Come to think of it,
that synth also looks like it is from a science fiction movie.

The album contains a selection of eight tracks in total. Six were
inspired by the Origin books and composed I read the Origin books.
The last two “Revolving Words” and “Solitude Rising” are older works
that I wanted to include. Both have the same Sci-Fi feel.
“Revolving Words” was composed for an video art exhibition. “Solitude
Rising” was originally composed as part of the soundtrack for a Sci-Fi
video game demo.
