Planetarium space music
Editorial review
Listeners who enjoy John Serrie will really be satisfied by Mark Petersen's collection of space music on West of the Galaxy. This synthesizer music, sampled keyboards and other electronic gear all achieve the sound of space. Some selections feature rippling harp-like arpeggios drifting over a wash of choral chords, some are uptempo selections, some are relaxing, floating voyages and yet others are rock-influenced new age works... ~ MusD, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
GEODESIUM (pronounced Gee-oh-dee-zee-um)
A blending of the words "geodesic dome" and "planetarium"
describing the environment which gave birth to the space music of Mark C. Petersen.
Mark is unquestionably the most prolific composer for the medium, and the GEODESIUM name has become synonymous with planetarium music. Since 1978, more than 800 planetaria around the world have purchased Mark's original planetarium music for their shows, and GEODESIUM albums are popular items in planetarium gift shops.
Mark uses Emulator and synthesizer sounds, blended in a rich, varied collection of original instrumental works. Relaxing yet provocative, GEODESIUM stylings embody "traditional" space music -- that ethereal, beautifully floating music that characterizes the genre -- as well as "new age"-style works and up-tempo, rhythmic sonic odysseys.
"West Of The Galaxy" contains nine selections -- just under an hour of original music -- recorded from 1983 to 1987.
