Starshot by Chris Wirsig
For Starshot, Chris Wirsig draws from the legacy of the Berlin School style and its artists who influenced him, from Tangerine Dream to Klaus Schulze (who gets his own dedication in the songs “Ode To KS” and “KS2”).
The album, dedicated to the late Edgar Froese, also reflects Wirsig’s fascination with science and space travel, drawing inspiration from the discovery of exoplanets and possible future colonization of other planets. With this, the album is also a hat tip to organizations like NASA and Space-X.
