Binary Star

about
auralcanyonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/binary-star
“Binary Star” is a cosmic synthesizer epic spanning an hour of interstellar bliss. It is deeply patient in its unfolding and invites the listener to leave their worldly cares behind and take a celestial journey through the star systems on board the ship that is Galecstasy. Primary Mystical Experience provides gravitational drones and spiraling arpeggios on his modular synthesizer decorated by sparse acoustic percussion while Raquel Bell offers shimmering FX and beautiful layers from Roland synthesizers sharing her accomplished operatic vocal work only when it matters most.
It should be noted that this document was recorded live in one take and was improvised with pure intention and deliberateness. This aspect makes the recording even more special as the element of risk is constant, daring the performers to exist peacefully and focused inside an organic manifold sonic kaleidoscope.
Galecstasy is an improvising duo based in Los Angeles, CA comprised of Jared Marshall (aka Primary Mystical Experience) and Raquel Bell (Leafblower, Normal Love, Mesiko, Dark Tips, Harry Partch). Our sound spans the gamut of psychedelic jazz, ambient journeying, heavy R&B, kosmiche synthesizer work, future-groove, and more. Galecstasy released our eclectic debut full-length album “Surprise” on cassette and digital via Aural Canyon March 1, 2020. Thanks for listening and traveling with us.
