Anju Singh - Neptune
Neptune is a full-length experimental doom-drone program with the moons of the planet featured in varied movements throughout the work, contributing as elements towards a full transcendent odyssey.
NEPTUNE takes the audience on a journey to the confines of the solar system with music inspired by the planet and its moons. Using strings, heavy doom and drone sounds, synthesizers, experimental techniques, and sound art elements, the piece aims to share the experience of the intense and abyssal nature of deep waters and the vastness of celestial space. Exploring these mysterious and uncontrollable forces of nature, questions about our relationship as humans to forces of these magnitudes are considered, providing a sonic soundscape to contemplate our position and placement in the universe.
