DESCRIPTION:
Michel van Osenbruggen ( Synth.nl ) writes : This is my fourth solo album called 'Apollo'. For this album, I was inspired by the Apollo Moon missions, undertaken by NASA during the 60's and 70's of the previous century. Since I was born in 1969, the same year that Neil Amstrong set foot on the Moon, I have always felt a very strong connection to this event. Listening to this album will take you on a voyage from the Earth to the Moon and back again. Many of the astronauts that actually took this journey have stated that they went up there to discover the Moon, yet really discovered Earth. Before Apollo, no-one had ever traveled far enough away to actually see the whole planet in one view. Pictures of that beautiful blue marble floating in space have become famous the world over and have made mankind feel more interconnected than ever before. In my opinion, the Moon landings represent human's greatest technological achievement up to date. I really hope to live the day that we will be able to return there. The album was released by Groove Unlimited on the 1st of October 2011 on the Electronic Circus Festival in Gütersloh Germany.

Rhythmic / sequencer music from Dutch synthesist Michel van Osenbruggen. Michel became interested in synthesizers during the late 1980's / early 1990's. It was at that time that he started collecting electronic instruments. After a while a body of work was accumulated and by 2005 Michel was ready to release and promote his material.
Early influences included Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis.
"Docking" is from his brilliant cd 'Apollo". ( October 2011 )
