Synopsis

Album Description

A cyberjazz blend of alien voices, ambient textures and extraterrestrial grooves that will take the listener on a journey out of this world. There are more galaxies in the universe than there are stars in a single galaxy such as our own Milky Way, which alone contains some 100 billion stars. Even if there is only one planet with life in each galaxy, that would still leave over a trillion planets with life. From the rhythmic signal of a pulsar to the harmonic spectrum of vibrating atoms, music is a fundamental part of the universe. Other intelligent beings surely understand this, and if so, their music must be wonderful and strange, yet somehow familiar. This CD explores the musical language of these other imagined worlds.

CD Reviews

Gorgeous and atmospheric

Marisa Spatafore | San Francisco | 09/20/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD takes the listener to places he or she may never have expected to go. Dreamlike and accomplished, it skillfully blends the gorgeous piano compositions for which O'Bergh is known with lovely, haunting and otherworldly elements. "Songs from Other Planets" is the best CD yet from a talented composer who deserves widespread recognition."

Unique Collection of Complex Song Structures

"Jon O'Bergh's latest release titled "Songs from Another Planet" is a unique collection of complex song structures combined with an amazing array of "instruments" and "alien" voices designed to take listeners to another place. It yields new discoveries with each listen."
