Signal Source Unknown

Edinburgh based solo project Signal Source Unknown came to life amid the long lockdown days and nights of 2021. Rising from a desire to contrast the fear and uncertainty of that time with new music that reached for a more optimistic view of the future. The first tracks were created using a micro-keyboard, a laptop and an old analog effects unit. The idea was simple. Write music to soundtrack a brighter future.

INSPIRED BY THE SEARCH FOR AN ELUSIVE LOST BEAUTY HIDDEN WITHIN THE BLEAKNESS OF THE REMOTE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS, STARLESS SOUNDTRACKS A JOURNEY INWARDS THROUGH MEMORY, DREAMS AND THE BEACONS THAT CAN LIGHT THE WAY EVEN ON THE DARKEST NIGHTS WHEN THE SKIES APPEAR STARLESS.

LET’S SOAR ACROSS THE SILENT SKIES SCREAM SORROWS AT THE ICY STARS GLIMPSE GOD’S FACE NOT REVEALED TO EARTH-BOUND EYES HIDDEN THERE BEYOND PLAIN SIGHT WITHIN THE FADING LIGHT

WORDS BECOME IMAGES - SILENCE BECOMES SOUND- STANDING STILL IN A MOVING CROWD - A DREAMSCAPE MOVING THROUGH A CABIN IN A DARK FOREST - LOOKING TO THE SKIES FOR ANSWERS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT BRING. AND, IMPORTANTLY, WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
