Dathon's first physical release since before the pandemic, and a return to my glitchy electronic roots. Dathon uses distorted lofi sounds, FM synthesis, homemade instruments, ethereal clips extracted from old 78 records, and microscopic, peculiar sounds captured through high-sensitivity microphones. The music becomes a vessel for contemplation, an exploration of the present moment and letting the sounds wash over the listener. Much like a David Lynch film, Dathon's music possesses a dreamy quality, best experienced rather than dissected, transcending traditional structures to encourage active listening. Dathon toys with traditional tension and release dynamics, creating an immersive experience that spans the realms of sleep-inducing meditative spaces to otherworldly soundscapes reminiscent of alien worlds.

Inner And Outer Horizons promises to transport listeners into uncharted territories, delving into the concepts of black holes, white holes, cosmic inflation, microwave background radiation, and the big bang. Lyons aims to deliver a sonic experience where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, echoing the cosmic wonders that inspired its creation.

Gear: Nord Modular G1, Elektron Digitone, Elektron Octatrack, Whiskey-box Zither, and guitar
