Album Notes THE STARGAZER'S JOURNEY takes ambient music to a cosmic level. Jonn Serrie has pioneered the genre of "space music" in his long career as a composer for such distinguished clients as NASA, Lucasfilm Ltd., and New York City's Hayden Planetarium. While other New Age composers might shy away from such a distinction, Serrie embraces it and continues to create unique music. His signature sound is an ethereal, gossamer twinkle that listeners around the world will immediately associate with cinematic scenes of space flight. THE STARGAZER'S JOURNEY, when removed from any visuals, becomes an aural voyage in itself. Serrie maintains enough subtle rhythm to keep the listener's mind engaged, and adds synthesizer melodies that shimmer through the compositions to soothing effect. On "Goldstone," a rapid four-note bassline provides the grounding over which shimmering chords. Fans of techno-pop groups like Air and Autechre will find similarities in Serrie's music. THE STARGAZER'S JOURNEY is the perfect music for body workers and massage therapists, providing a far-off, blissful mood.
