about

Solar Return is a duo composed of Jenny Pickett & Julien Ottavi.
The body of their music is based on frequency generation and interpolation of multiple digital oscillators and analogue modular synthesizers.
Electromagnetic phenomena are the starting point for their audio creations. They have produced various scores for two audio synthesizers, oscillators and DIY electronics that reflect electromagnetic patterns and events such as solar flares and cosmic electric saturation as well as the unfathomable audio world of everyday devices.

lyrics

We spent one week residency at EMS in Stockholm, one of the oldest electronic music studios in Europe. We researched data from the cosmos, especially from the brightest stars in the cosmos. We collected information from satellites and resource websites on the size of the biggest stars in our galaxy, their distance from the earth and also their rotation speed. We translated this information into data that could be manipulated with electronic musical instruments. We then wrote graphic scores using these parameters to play them live on the modular synthesizers (Serge and Buchla) available in the EMS studios. "Aldebaran Magnitude 0,95" was composed from materials collected during our residency at EMS in 2017, we then operated in October 2022 a mixing of the collected materials, hours of recordings, specifically those made with the Serge, a quasi-living modular instrument with wild and unstable granular and electric sounds, which we condensed into a 10min composition, creating a musical moment close to the phenomenon of solar emissions coming from the different stars of the cosmos.

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful. One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
