TRUNCATIONS VOL. 1 INTERACTIVE COMPANION

Truncations Volumes 1 & 2 are part of a compendium of abstract instrumental works inspired by exploration that defies convention.

Volume 1 consists of 24 experimental tracks with names that honor the discovery of exoplanets within the “Known Universe”. These names were chosen by nations across the globe based on world history, mythology, and literature, as a part of the NameExoWorlds project, which is managed by the International Astronomical Society.

There is an interactive companion to the listening experience that features links to data about each exoplanet, as well as information about the origin of each name. It is downloadable with Vol. 1. It can also be found here: www.themesmusic.com?page_id=256

Volume 2 consists of 14 tracks of experimental ambient, electronic, and organic music. Some of which were performed completely live by real people!

The goal is to inspire our collective desire to explore, learn, and evolve.
