Tinmixer - Wayfarer (2017)

Wayfarer documents a lone space traveller embarking on an expedition across an alien terrain. The landscape is strange yet habitable and is covered in an abundance of exuberant flora.

From the crystalline shoreline our protagonist heads deep into the planet's mainland, uncovering vast stone structures made from centuries of volcanic activity and smoking from the intense heat, caves and caverns covered in gently glowing plant life, healthy forests consisting of many familiar yet evolved textures, smells and shapes, endless deserts of white fluffy sand lit by sheets of vibrant star constellations and even clues to past civilisations with the discovery of insightful archaeological artifacts buried within the earth. The affirming end to the album points to the cyclical properties of nature and hints at the return to sea that all life will continuously experience as the complex ecosystem rolls on.

Wayfarer is equal parts blissful synth explorations, ominous alien drones, nu-age meditation and dark, tension filled mantras - the album is truly a wonder of nature - it's just not ours.
