Slow Sunday: Stargazing Special

Stuart invites you to take the Freak Zone out to your garden, attic or the woods as he soundtracks your twilight astral contemplations with a blend of music inspired by astronomy.

Stuart invites you to take the Freak Zone out to your garden, attic or the woods as he soundtracks your twilight astral contemplations with a blend of music inspired by astronomy. Transport yourself and unwind to an eclectic blend of tracks inspired by astronomy, astrology, horoscopes and constellations as part of 6 Music’s Slow Sunday.

Look up to the otherworldly sounds of Japanese synths reversioning Debussy’s dreamy moonlit-inspired piano piece Claire De Lune. There’s bizarre avant-pop that muses on extraterrestrial life, star-themed atmospheric contemporary choral arrangements from Norway as well as Freak Zone favourites Pink Floyd, Philip Glass and Tangerine Dream.
