Ben Shemie - Desiderata - Star DustLimited colored vinyl LP pressing. Channeling his background in classical music, SUUNS' Ben Shemie combines string fractals, manipulated vocals, and synth powered chaos to bridge the universes of past, present, and future. Over the course of ten tracks, Shemie chronicles a wandering soul tangled in it's own dark orbit, searching for meaning in a world of stardust and astral mirages.

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Channeling his background in classical music, SUUNS' Ben Shemie combines string fractals, manipulated vocals, and synth-powered chaos to bridge the universes of past, present, and future. Over the course of ten tracks, Shemie chronicles a wandering soul tangled in it's own dark orbit, searching for meaning in a world of stardust and astral mirages. Breathing life into Shemie's orchestral maneuvers was the Molinari String Quartet, one of Canada's most celebrated contemporary ensembles. Recording the album's ten tracks in two single-takes, the urgency and dynamism of these compositions can be heard as much felt. The listener can sense the stuttering pulse of Shemie, flanked by five amplifiers and wading in electronic bedlam, as the Molinari Quartet switchbacks measures of strings and chimes. Sometimes, the only way to make sense of the world is to travel to it's absolute end. While Shemie's image of a faraway universe is equal parts inspiring and chaotic, he assures the listener - everything and everyone is exactly as it should.
