Entirely instrumental “New Blue Sun” is an introspective journey through rich and enveloping soundscapes, where the flute, often modified and transformed, plays a central role. The album’s eight tracks are atmospheric compositions that transport the listener into unexplored sonic dimensions.
The bonuses included with the album “New Blue Sun” such as a fold-out poster, printed inner sleeves and postcards with original drawings, enrich the album in a unique and immersive way .
