Craig Padilla & Zero Ohms - Past All We Knew (Official Video) from To Sleep on Stellar Winds

Since human beings could look up at the sky, they have been enraptured by the vastness of space. As a species, our desire for exploration and understanding is as old as our ability to walk, and the stellar expanse, that unknowable eternity, has long prompted questions of its breadth and substance. To Sleep on Stellar Winds, the new album from Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms, carries on this ancient investigation. As Zero Ohms’s wind instruments weave through Padilla’s modular synth landscapes in stunning harmony, an image of the uncharted cosmos takes shape.

Twelve years since their last collaboration, When the Earth is Far Away, and five years in the making, the compositional process for To Sleep on Stellar Winds was atypical for both artists. Zero Ohms and Padilla composed the first 3 tracks using a mix of Zero Ohms’s wind instruments and Padilla’s George Mattson customized modular synthesizer, alongside many other digital and analog synthesizers. They intentionally constrained their writing approach further by completing the project using only the wind instruments and modular synthesizers.

Though they pared down their sonic palette on these pieces, the result is far from spare. This opening track “Past All We Knew” shimmers like aurorae as an odd-time rhythm builds behind wind instruments, before being overtaken by a rising drone—the explorer breaching the edge of knowledge at last.

It is in this universe where Padilla and Zero Ohms paint planets and stars in sound. Throughout this exploration, To Sleep on Stellar Winds keeps the listener in peace and tranquility, as if each new frontier is exactly where they belong.

To Sleep on Stellar Winds officially releases on Spotted Peccary Music on September 20, 2024. The digital signal for Past All We Knew is available now.
