Surprise release to close off 2020. Here's Adelaide's Voyage. A soundtrack made on demand for a chapter of The Outlaw Ocean book by Ian Urbina, a Pullitzer prize winning journalist from The New York Times. Enjoy!

In addition to the streaming links, here's the one from Beatport.


More subtle and instrumental work from Airwave. Loving it! Wouldn't mind him switching to making stuff like this in the future. His musical talent really shines here.



In case you were wondering how this came about:

In 2019, Urbina created Synesthesia Media, which specializes in mixing mediums. In its first project, the firm functioned as a music label and recruited hundreds of musicians from more than 45 countries. As part of The Outlaw Ocean Music Project, these artists ranged in genre from classical and ambient to electronic and hip hop. Each musician made their own album, inspired by the book and using field recordings that Urbina collected while reporting the book. The project's website says that one of its goals was an experiment in translation, taking journalism and converting it into music. Featured artists included Gill Chang, Mooncake, Starkey, Headphone Activist, Chromonicci, Sara Landry and Louis Futon.

Haha yeah that was predictable - would fit into a Singularity episode no doubt. Two Types of Justice and Unequal Gender Rights are my pick.

these slow static sloth-moving rhythms puts me to sleep.

theres nothing happening in these tracks! wtf ? sounds like the tracks been slowed down to coma-tempo on purpose. and the rhythms are like a swedish couple trying to dance.

is this the same man that made Planisphere - O?

Airwave has sucked monkey balls for a long time now, i think around 2018 he started to make this new boring mellow progressive style that everyone makes these days. There is no drive whatsoever in this type of music. FUCKING BORING

Really hate it when you put it into a perspective like that...

That said, still enjoy it, with fresh ears. Of course I'd absolutely love something like O (but even no track from back then comes close to that!!), but I wouldn't mind Airwave making more of these Trilogique Chillout mashup with prog mashup with Olafur Arnalds and what he does with the instruments.
