Floating Points - Reflections - Mojave Desert

Reflections – Mojave Desert is the third studio album by electronic musician Floating Points (Sam Shepherd), released in June 2017 via Pluto.

Sam Shepherd is an English electronic musician, who records and performs music under the name Floating Points.

The first in a planned series of environmental recordings by Floating Points to be filmed and recorded at different locations around the world; the recording was made last year, as Floating Points travelled to the Mojave to rehearse in between US touring.

Immediately struck by the distinct sonic tapestry created by the rock formations and valleys, Sam and the band set up a recording operation and filmed this new work at the base of the natural sculptures they encountered.

The music of Reflections mirrors the landscape: soaring and vast, dynamic and intimate, centred around two longer works and shorter pieces that create a singular and seamless 27-minute experience.

This limited LP record is on black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a 16 page booklet, DVD and digital download code. Pressed in the United Kingdom.
