Explore New Dimensions with the Alphaxone

Alphaxone explores between dimensions in the newest release from sonic genius Mehdi Saleh. A consistent presence in the ambient scene, Alphaxone’s newest offering, titled Interdimensional comes to us via the Cryo Chamber label, following the previous collaboration with Dronny Darko in Beyond the Event Horizon. Known for his unique blend of darkened atmospheric soundscapes, Alphaxone’s music is often characterized by its layered drone and harmonic textures, creating a sense of depth and massive scale that lures the listener into a calmed state of mental reception and thought.

Interdimensional continues this tradition of intricate sound design, delivering a slow, methodical fresco of subtle drones and gentle uses of harmonic textures - creating an aural blanket of gentle mesmerism, a unique quality to the “space” ambient feel of which Alphaxone is deft at crafting. Each track is codified by slow, subtle beginnings, with gradual introductions of the soft pads and disciplined percussive synth stabs; occasional lead synth sounds punctuate the atmosphere at times, making this album more of a placid, yet massive ambient soundtrack. As a child of the 80s, one cannot help but to associate the music of Alphaxone to the halcyon days of 80s science fiction films whose use of such soundtracks was notable and obviously impactful in my generation. 

A testament to Alphaxone’s skill as a composer and his ability to create deeply immersive soundscapes, Interdimensional is a must-listen for fans of space ambience and deep atmospherics. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Alphaxone or new to his music, “Interdimensional” offers a sonic journey that is sure to captivate and inspire. You can purchase Interdimensional in CD digipak and digital formats on the Cryo Chamber Bandcamp page on January 30, 2024.
