We previously featured LOGICA ABSTRACTA’s Headspace Station which served as a monumental sonic journey into cosmic introspection and transcendence, so when we heard that the talented Vadim Militsin was back with Ad Astra, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
For some context, Ad Astra is a Latin phrase that translates as “to the stars”. It’s often used metaphorically, suggesting the pursuit of high ideals, ambition, or reaching for something extraordinary.
The opus opens with a cosmic, meditative energy inviting us to feel at peace and oneness with the universe. The dimensionality of the composition is nothing short of divine. We are immersed into a transcendental mood once again, reminding us that we are part of the cosmos.
Ad Astra is perfect for meditation, or an immersive yoga class – perhaps Yin or Hatha yoga – the pace invites introspection and the glistening dynamism and fully cohesive vibrancy is refined, elegant and celestial.
The piece comes with a moody and cinematic visual that brings to life the nature of the composition – showing a psychedelic and futuristic side to the holographic universe with nods to sacred geometry. It comes in at a mere three minutes and twenty-two seconds, which does leave us yearning for more – just as well, LOGICA ABSTRACTA‘s sonic universe is expanding and Ad Astra comes with an entire EP’s worth of work!
Ad Astra follows LOGICA ABSTRACTA‘s full-length album Headspace Station and is designed to help us relax or focus. Speaking on the release, Vadim says, “The small film pays tribute to sci-fi movies of old. It was created without 3D or A.I. and with minimum of computer effects, mostly being a shadow theatre and an audio-visual installation.”
We love the conscious universe that LOGICA ABSTRACTA shares, and have added Ad Astra to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the entirety of the EP, and Headspace Station!
