STROM, PAULINE ANNA - Trans-Millenia Music

Otherworldly and anomalous, hushed and hallucinatory, Pauline Anna Stroms unique style of inner space music reaches across time to futures and pasts far from our own. Trans-Millenia Music compiles eighty minutes of Stroms most evocative work, composed and recorded between 1982 and 1988, for the first authorized overview of the enigmatic Bay Area composer.Pauline Anna Strom introduced her music to the world in 1982 with Trans-Millenia Consort, a collection of transportive synthesizer music providing listeners a vessel to break beyond temporal limits into a world of pulsing, mercurial tonalities and charged, embryonic waveforms. Stroms solicitation into the unknown continued through a half dozen more stellar releases during the decade, which, despite their singularity and mastery, slipped into the more obscure annals of want lists and bootleg editions.Though Stroms work developed during the dawn of San Franciscos influential new age and ambient scenes, her music remains non-programmatic,
