Wolfgang Tillmans releases his first album, Moon in Earthlight, a singularly plural 53-minute piece comprised of 19 tracks. The title describes the phenomenon one can see in the first few days after a New Moon, when the slim crescent of the moon is completed into a full circle by a faint light that is not lit by sunlight but by the light reflected from Earth. For an artist whose first love was astronomy, it’s an apt title for his debut. A composition of multiplicities, Moon in Earthlight is a collage of sounds, field recordings, words, studio jam sessions and live recordings, voice, soundscapes, and instrumentation scored with audible space that keeps pace.
