August Stars - PMT#31 Music For A Winter's Afternoon

Beginning life as an idea on a summers evening in rural Staffordshire, August Stars became the moniker given to the recording project of S?bastien Wright in 2002. August Stars produces minimalist drones and soundscapes inspired by the passing of the seasons, landscapes, the ghost stories of Le Fanu and Chamber Music by James Joyce amongst others. Whereas some electronic music can often be rather cold and lacking in emotion, August Stars’ sound is full of nostalgia, sadness and longing. It is highly evocative music. Listening to August Stars is akin to becoming lost in thought. Rather than being merely a background, this is music in which to immerse.

Comment from August Stars:

«Not so much music written for winter, but certainly music I listened to a lot in the gathering dusk and darkness of afternoons in late November and December."»
