Atmaen, the Italian music project of singer and voice researcher Valentina Buroni, announced that her new EP entitled Lullabies From The Dark Ether will be released on 12 December via Inertial Music. Available only as a digital release, the new work consists of five atmospheric electronic ambient songs meant to be a bridge to cross the line between being awake and falling asleep.
The first taste of the upcoming EP is the single/video "Blue Ghost". It's a gentle invitation to feel lighter, to let the mind dissolve in the night sky, to let the spirit roam free and blend with the vastness of space.
Lullabies From The Dark Ether is music that flows gracefully in the quiet darkness of the night, like an owl flying silently, lifting the veil between the world of daylight and the world of dreams. Otherworldly soundscapes create the frame within which soulful melodies unfold. Wordless vocals seem to come from a different dimension. They flow and blend with the synth sounds, creating a rich evolving sound tapestry, to drift into dreams as wide as the universe. Some songs also feature a beautiful, heavily processed piano that sounds like it's coming from another world, yet speaks directly to the listener's soul. Link
