Avatar Blue
Hypnotic ambient hyperprisms from knew-age pioneer Spencer Clark (The Skaters), emulating underwater sensations and the motion of aquatic life in lush FM synthesis.
2 years in the making, this edition renders Clark’s melodic charms at their mostly wobbly and winking with track titles such as ‘Wet Suits of Wiwaxia’ or ‘Banshee Foam’ matched by their musical content, ranging from psychedelic synth jazz to 11 minutes of lathered, super-natural choral voices. Very basically, anyone into 0PN or James Ferraro needs to dive in with both feet and a VR snorkel.
"The story goes like this: Spencer wanted to do a soundtrack for the yet to be made “Avatar 2”. And if you know Spencer’s work, you’ll know that he engaged on this mission reading material that influenced the rich and crazy imaginary world of “Avatar”. If you think about it a little bit, something like “Avatar” could have really come out from the mind of Spencer Clark.
But it didn’t. So, he dwelled around the idea of that soundtrack, working on what is now known as “Avatar Blue”. The record we now release is a selection he made from the 2CD released last year on his own Pacific City Sound Visions.*
Like many of Spencer’s other alias or incarnations, Star Searchers introduces the listener to a new world. Besides making sounds/soundtracks for alternative realities he cares about making a world for his music to live in. It’s never superficial or dedicated just to the act of imagination, Spencer creates sounds that sustain the reality he imagined. That’s why they’re so rich and consequential in the realization of music as a medium.
“Avatar Blue” is music but also literature. And cinema. Star Searchers’ sound creates an absorbent sound about what’s happening in aquatic life. It goes beyond the perception of what we’ve seen or what we’ve known, it’s a neo-future aquatic life, with a world building structure and sounds and narratives that go along with it."
