Style: ambient
Primary Emotions/Themes: It builds layer upon layer of simple melodies that end up evolving into something beautiful
Thoughts: It starts with a single drop of rain. Shortly after two more join in. Before you know it the sky is unleashing its most recent drizzle upon the earth. This is the way of Virtual Moonlight.
These songs start off incredibly light, with minimal instruments. As the song builds though so does the amount of complexity. The layers grow and grow until the proverbial rainstorm has arrived to shower us with it's music.
The approach on Virtual Moonlight is quite different than the past two albums from this project. While still simplistic in nature, when all the layers are added together the minimalism of the previous efforts is washed away. In some regards I'm saddened that the excellent minimalism has left us, yet I am still glad that Voyage Futur is not content to repeat themselves. It will be interesting to see where the project goes from here.
