about

"12 Views of Iain M. Banks's Culture" is a musical homage to the brilliant Scottish writer, died in 2013, Iain M. Banks, and to his wonderful sci-fi cycle called "Culture series" novels. This space opera takes place in a galaxy where a highly advanced post-humanoid civilization reached a utopian goal of a free, anarchist, libertarian and egalitarian society without money or laws. Almost immortals citizens live in gigantic orbitals floating in space with godlike and benevolent artificial Minds incarnated in ships and drones. The Culture shares the galaxy with many different other civilizations.

With this album, I choose to imagine 12 musical paintings of this incredibly rich and colored universe where adventure, drama, humor, violence and epic situations walks alongside with a fantastic sense of wonder and deep political, ethical, spiritual and sociologist thoughts. Dark textures, baroque arrangements and melodic guitars blend in this both synthetic and organic album, and are made to unite melodic metal and dark synthwave as a respectful vision of the limitless imagination of Mr Iain M. Banks.

One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song. Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact. swipesomething
