Covering Bowman&#8217;s journey to the Monolith near Jupiter, the album touches the edges of isolation and glacial solitude, with a discernible warm human core. MONOLITH&#8217;s epic expanses, asteroid flybys, serene ambient moments, vast open textures, and warmer hues of sparse remoteness are barren, yet without leaving the listener abandoned. Think of it as drone insulation rather than drone isolation.<\/p>\n<p><BR>As Lonely As Dave Bowman is named after the astronaut in Kubrick\/Clarke&#8217;s 2001: A Space Odyssey. <B>Monolith<\/B> is a soundtrack for the final four months of Dave&#8217;s journey to Jupiter. The pieces thematically track his isolation beginning with the failure of the AK-35 unit radio antennae, skimming near the moons of Jupiter, navigating his Pod above the Jupiter Monolith, the dark channel of lights, and his enlightenment in the brightly-lit hotel suite [I&#8217;ve excised Dave&#8217;s conflict with HAL from this telling of the story.] There are no words or narration &#8212; these are the inspiration for the tracks.<\/p>\n<p><BR>This album was funded by my generous supporters on <a href=\"http:\/\/kck.st\/1aWKvCr\" Target=Blank>Kickstarter<\/A>.<\/p>\n<p><BR><a href=\"mailto:sr.projekt@gmail.com?subject=Add%20me%20to%20the%20BlackTape,%20Projekt%20AlbumPage!\"><IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/Box-Blacktapejoinus2.jpg WIDTH=400><br \/>\nClick to Join, hit send, and I&#8217;ll add you to the list. &#8211; Sam <\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00318%2F&t=As+Lonely+As+Dave+Bowman%3A+Monolith+%28limited+edition+CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00318%2F&text=As+Lonely+As+Dave+Bowman%3A+Monolith+%28limited+edition+CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00318%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00318b.jpg&description=+%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00318%2F&title=As+Lonely+As+Dave+Bowman%3A+Monolith+%28limited+edition+CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com\/album\/monolith\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,577,74,135,149,49,572],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8334","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-as-lonely-as-dave-bowman","product_cat-black-tape-for-a-blue-girl","product_cat-darkambient","product_cat-drone","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-sam-rosenthal","pa_artist-as-lonely-as-dave-bowman","pa_format-cd-in-4-panel-dvd-sized-digipak","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-456","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8334"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8334"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
