FLOATING POINTS – ELAENIA
2015-11-09For the past ten years, all roads Floating Points AKA Sam Shepherd has followed have been slowly leading to Elaenia – an album with roots deep in his formative years, and one that draws upon everything Shepherd has done so far. Every DJ set he’s performed, every talent he has produced, every composition he has written are thought of as precursors to Elaenia – a dazzling score which puts Shepherd in the spotlight as a composer who has produced an album that bridges the gap between his rapturous dance music and formative classical roots. Elaenia, was engineered over five year period, all the while deejaying in cities across the globe and working towards his PhD in neuroscience.
