The second album of Colin Rayment is an emotional album about impressions and breathtaking cloud formations witnessed in the far north of Scotland during summer 2015. Again Rayments compositions are recognizable in their electronic sounds and sequences - with a focus on electronic analogue synths and many melodic effects.
Rolling Towards The Aurora, dedicated to Edgar Froese.

5 long pieces with a lot of variety and very versatile instruments from the world of synthesizers. Very well produced.

Most of us have engaged in cloud watching at some point. Scanning the evolving abstract forms within the sky and being transfixed by the varying speeds of the ever changing shapes, as these random white structures, sometimes mirroring recognisable forms, slowly develop. A kaleidoscopic landscape of patterns, with every formation unique and never to be repeated. This was the creative platform and inspiration behind ‘Evolving Forms’.

FRBs are Fast Radio Bursts. Only recently, very unusual repeating signals, coming from a source about 1.5 billion light years away have been detected. These signals have been picked up from a distant galaxy and so far, little is known about this cosmic puzzle. The music of Colin Rayment takes this event as its composing base.

The concept behind the album relates to Igneous rock and the mysteries behind its formation. Having spent time with his kids during the summer exploring the Jurassic beach areas of Devon in the UK, these sometimes amazing formations became the inspiration behind this personal music to the artist.Fantastic music, full of dynamics and unexpected turns. He can gently rock us, and in the next moment change the completely musical atmosphere into a musical adventure full of fast epic action into the land of our imagination. This music moves the listener deeply inviting him to his unique magical world :)..."

Creative inspiration is all around us. Sometimes you don’t have to look very far to find these visual ‘prompts’. Just how many photographs, videos, or even illustrations, could originate from the observations viewed through a studio window? Music can be created simply by observing the seasons and associated visual changes around you, but additionally, by weaving in aspects from life’s events and creating a seamless patchwork for a musical ‘narrative’. In this case, Metamorphic Phases, is just that.

Less is more. As they say. And that, of course, can apply to anything. For example, how could you make more of something fairly minimal? A subtle amount of illumination in the darkness, an unsusal shaft of light, that catches the eye. Or maybe a strangely distorted shadow created in almost total blackness…
One thing they all have in common, is a strange but subtile prominence. When light becomes visibly sparse. Observing the abstract patterns that are created and combined with any other unique low level light forms. Gobos in the dark of night as they constantly evolve…
Now imagine, how this might possibly inspire music…

Theoretically, time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to advance further into the future in a short period of their own time. For sufficiently high speeds, the effect is dramatic. For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years on Earth. In time dilation, time moves slower for an observer who is in motion relative to another observer. To a stationary observer, a moving clock will tick slower than the one the observer is holding. The concept of the time dilation effect comes from Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Would you want to look ahead? And if you could, what would you do about what you see…
