The Astroboy – Flow My Tears – CD

The Astroboy is a solo project by Luís Fernandes.  Drone, timbric exploration and contemplative soundscapes built from analog synthesis and digital manipulation are some of the elements we can find in his recent works.

Minimalism, drama, tension and release, experimentalism and pure abstraction are some of the features of “Flow my Tears”, certainly a highlight in Portuguese contemporary music!

The title is directly related to:”Flow my tears, the policeman said”, awarded novel by American writer Philip K. Dick whose story is translated into music in the course of  8 tracks that define The Astroboy’s new record. The translation process isn’t made as if the record is a soundtrack to the book. Instead, the book’s dystopia and key points inspire a specific musical framework in which words act as a score, and music as a reaction.
