about

Christopher Willits presents his latest piece, Sunset, with simple instructions: "Begin the music 15 minutes before the sun sets."

The five compositions move from warm to cool designed as a soundtrack to embrace the day's end; a collective letting go.

As with 2017's opus Horizon, the first-ever spatial audio release on Ghostly International, Sunset is produced to listen from within. Using the cutting-edge immersive audio venues and tools of his nonprofit, Envelop, Willits projects a path for the future of electronic music.

“When I was 13, I understood that my life’s path was to make music in the service of love, peace, and spiritual healing. Music is a medicine that allows us to feel, listen and surrender to the present moment. The compositions I create move through my imagination, heart, and hands, like guitar through a speaker, and light through a lens. I am continuously learning and evolving with the process; a practice of letting go of all that I create, as it creates me.”

The digital download comes with the immersive files of Sunset as bonus material. This is a PDF that includes links to these files:
1. 3rd-order Ambisonics (3OA) (5 GB)
2. 5.1 Mix LPCM (L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs) (1.5 GB)
