Aural Float

Aural Float was formed in 1993 as an "electronic ambient project" with lots of electro acoustic and creative interplay. The colab is floating with "deep sounds". Aural Float´s music style can be best described as "modern electronic listening music" ranging from ambient to space and experimental soundscapes.

They compiled the soundtracks for the german cult TV-series "SpaceNight", that has been broadcasted every night at tv-station BR, played at many "chill out events", and they released three electronic and atmospheric albums, Introspectives, Freefoat and Beautiful Someday. Aural Float members are: Alex Azary, Gabriel Le Mar and Pascal FEOS, who share a passion for music, computer graphics, science fiction and art in general. Since many years their names stands for cutting-edge and ambitious sound design.

Five years after the last album Freefloat and 10 years after the first album Introspectives, Aural Float strikes new paths with their album "Beautiful Someday", particularly with the increased use of vocals by "Kim Sanders", "Nada Nadia Vagioka" and "Catenia Quentin". Aural Float, in an almost playful easiness, present the way from the experimental search of the beginning to a clearly structured high-end version of sensual cutting-edge Pop Music, finding emotions in melodies. Nevertheless, the system always stays open enough to allow a winking cross reference to their impressionistic "Ambient Trance".

In 1996, "Aural Float" took over the creative direction of the german cult tv-series "Space Night", broadcasted on "station BR" and associated CD/DVD compilations series as well. As a proto type of a holistic TV-concept with spectacular images and visionary soundspheres, it received public attention and interest for innovation. Still today you can watch Space Night at "BR alpha TV station".

The concept of this groundbreaking project was to combine original NASA/ESA film- and video- and documentary footage from outer space with music made on earth. Until today, "Space Night" is a synonym for chillout and with it`s futuristic visuals soon reached "cult status" among the young night watchers. Four years later Elektrolux pitched an "ambient television" idea to german tv-broadcaster HR, that was produced as a program called "Flowmotion" , a music series of DJ/VJ mixes, another outstanding platform for avantegarde video artists and "chillout producers" that was created by the Aural Float masterminds.

They received lots of good feedback for bringing the realms of video and sound closer together to put DJ and VJ mixes on "mainstream television". "Moving Images" includes selected "Aural Float" tracks as well as comprehensive bonus material in an DVD edition. The tracks are interpreted in a new in and exciting way by well-known video artists, based on high quality film material. The DVD had been produced and published in cooperation with "Corbis Motion", one of the most respected "image and film agencies" for digital media.

With Freefloat Alex, Gabriel and Pascal delievered their second longplayer and managed to score more tracks for "Space Night". The album covers a wide spectrum of "spacy sounds" and combines well concructed beats with spheric elements. During the three month long sessions in "Pascal FEOS" "Planet Vision studio", guest vocalists like "Patricia Onyewanjo", "Yah Meek", "George DIN", "Markie J." and space poet "Reinhard Furrer" added the song structures to the 3-D-sound of Aural Float.

German Astronaut "Reinhard Furrer" was a member of the astronaut crew of the NASA "Spacelab Mission D1". His vocals were taped at his flight message transmissions. Flew on October 30 - November 6, 1985
