-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the grand tradition of high concept 
progressive rock comes an epic cross-media hybrid where cerebral science
 fiction meets visceral rock 'n' roll. Sontaag's eponymous debut album 
has been described as 'the space opera that Pink Floyd
 never wrote', 'a modern-day Tubular Bells', 'a prog-rock War Of The 
Worlds', but no reference point or sound-bite nails its seamless 
combination of space rock, narrative spoken word, and evocative ambience
 quite as neatly as 'sonic cinema'. Recorded in New York City and 
London, co-produced and mixed by Youth (Killing Joke, The Fireman) for 
Big Life Management, 'Sontaag' is a stunning and immersive listening 
experience. An evolutionary progression combining cutting edge sounds 
with classic dynamics, adapting the rock experience for today's digital 
environment.


Arriving in a landscape where music, books and movies often co-exist 
on a single handheld device, 'Sontaag' represents a seamless fusion of 
the finest elements of all three.


Sontaag features Richard Sontaag (composition, instruments, concept, 
co-production) and Ian Fortnam (story, lyrics, voice, concept).


'Sontaag' is a cross-generic space rock grand opera: a 
transcontinental project fast-tracking contemporary music into a 
cinematic future by refusing to recognize boundaries geographic or 
stylistic. Imagine stratosphere-scraping Pink Floyd
 dynamism powered beyond the boundaries and constraints of gravity by 
the propulsive sonic energy of a visionary Youth production job; a Star 
Wars saga psychedelicized by the vivid ambient shades of an Orb sound 
palette.


Sontaag is evolving rock for the cybernautic age and the digital 
environment by adapting and applying audio-visual and spoken word 
elements holistically, progressively... super-sonically.


Voyage beyond trad-rock constraints, shame faux modernity with 
inclusive, multi-dimensional progression and embrace the ever-expanding 
horizons of cyber-sonic possibility.
