moonlighting: an audiofuturist love story

By Marco Smith

The year is 3127. Human existence has moved far beyond the confines of the planet Earth. So much so that we’ve discovered we’re not alone in the universe and you’ve met someone who’s peaked your interest from Phomeda 7. You know, the planet where the people are a cross between human and amphibian and the women resemble mermaids. They breathe underwater and above ground. That meeting has resulted in an interstellar rendezvous of sorts and the possibilities of a relationship unlike any you’ve ever experienced. Well at least that’s what you’re thinking before you’re awakened from your inner most geeky fantasy. But if this scenario were true the soundtrack to it would most definitely be "MOONLIGHTING: AN AUDIOFUTURIST LOVE STORY". It's the latest offering from Simon Pheonix. Dallas' resident creative communicator, visual villain and multimedia artist. He experiments in image, voice, and sound.

Unlike most mixtapes "Moonlighting" is an experimentation of the sensual from a futuristic perspective. A sonic journey into a ubiquitous realm of aquatic sounds and tones. This is not your slow jams tape from high school. You may hear the alternative crooning falsetto of Childish Gambino or the sweet familiar voice of the late great Aaliyah. Either way you're in for something special to set the mood.
