A Gentle Rain Of Starlight
What music would you listen to while exploring the starry winter sky, enjoying the solitude of a star-filled night, drifting through space across lagoons of silver light, and having a romantic interlude under a distant sun? All these soundscapes, and more, await the listener on A Gentle Rain Of Starlight, Mark C. Petersen's 2007 Geodesium release. These 13 evocative sound journeys were created for the rarefied atmosphere of the planetarium dome. Now, they soar free as soulful explorations of the stars. Fall in love with the cosmos all over again!
