Choral ambiance floats through layered electronics on Venus Ex Machina’s Lux

“A requiem for an Earth beset by environmental change.”

Composer and sound designer Venus Ex Machina is releasing her debut album, titled Lux, via AD 93 this January.

The album is described by the label as “a digital sanctuary, a choral ambience, layered electronics …. a requiem for an earth beset by environmental change.”

The release is accompanied with an extract from The Book of Isaiah, which reads as follows:

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning star! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far nothing; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the most high.’”

Lux follows AD 93’s release of Biosphere’s Angel’s Flight LP, also in January.
