What is there beyond our sight, on the dark side [sic] of the moon? Why does it always look the same for the observer? People were concerned with this questions for years. Nowadays the scientists already know the answers, but romanticism and mysticism will still cover the Moon for years to come.
“Beyond The Moon” which consists of ten deep and hypnotic pieces, allows you to cross the horizon and to travel in time and space. Turn it on and prepare for the journey.
Ed: Sorry to be sciency rather than artsy, but, of course, the far side of the Moon is not “dark”. It alternates between two week long day and night phases just as does the tidally-locked side that faces the earth.
