Stardust Sonata is both a tribute and lament to David Bowie in ritual ambient form. It was recorded in the winter of 2016 shortly after the release of Blackstar and Bowie’s premature death. The six tracks feature ambient soundscapes driven by electric guitars and occasional electronic elements that rise and fall in a network of interlocking waves. The sonic framework explored on Stardust Sonata was informed by Bowie’s work with Brian Eno on the first two instalments of the Berlin trilogy: Low (1977) and Heroes (1977). Side two of those records feature rich and meticulously crafted soundscapes which provided inspiration for the approach used here.
