The Interstellar Music of Martin Glass: Orbit One
A 4 track ambient ep (8m 9s) — released January 3rd 2025 on Kit Records
Martin had been a surprise choice for the commission.
It was the Spring of 1977 and two Interstellar Mariners were to be sent hurtling into deep space. Glass was to provide weekly "sonologues" of their progress, audio diarist for a pair of mute mechanical adventurers.
Delivered with a near fanatical diligence over the course of nearly three decades, these stuttering musical biographies would soon bewilder those who had first asked for them.
Martin's work, they judged, had begun to plot its own eccentric orbit, charting more than just the ships' material progress, but rather their imagined psychogeography ("What will they say about me?" "I will never conserve my instruments" "Nobody has gone further").
With his sonic dispatches increasingly ignored and unheard, all funding for the project swiftly fell to dust.
As we journey towards a more complete compilation of these scores (surfacing Spring 2025), please accept the first in a series of 'orbits in miniature' - an interstellar canto to the epic that follows…
