Ice Planet 9000:
Crafting Cinematic Cosmic Journeys
Formed in 2018, Ice Planet 9000 is the brainchild of Brent Zius and Karl Learmont.
Their music defies genre boundaries, blending elements of “Active Ambient”
and the iconic “Berlin School.” Inspired by 70s sci-fi classics
and legendary artists like Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, and Tangerine Dream,
Ice Planet 9000 weaves intricate sonic landscapes using a mix of modern and
vintage synthesizers, along with custom-built musical instruments.
Albums and Artistry
Their first two self-released albums were successfully crowd funded thanks to
a strong, loyal fanbase. These albums are supported by a rich concept and storyline.
“Sequence
1: Glass Jar” (Feb 2022)
This debut album features six 70s synth-inspired instrumentals that serve as
the soundtrack to a futuristic universe. Imagine massive deep space tankers—aptly
named “Glass Jars”—mining water and transporting it back to
distant colonies. The vinyl release boasts stunning 3 gatefold art on both sides,
complete with snap-together pieces representing crew members, the enigmatic
Sonic Lathe, and alien artifacts. The inside album cover doubles as a backdrop
for creating your own cosmic scenes.
“Sequence
2: Star Chamber” (March 2024)
Their second album takes listeners on an 80-minute cosmic odyssey. With 11 tracks,
Ice Planet 9000 continues to explore celestial realms. The hand-painted sci-fi
artwork gracing the CD, USB, and digital versions adds to the immersive experience.
There was even a Deluxe Boxed edition—resembling pieces of an exploded
spaceship! The tri-fold panorama artwork and accompanying booklet provide insight
into the album’s captivating storyline.
NEXT ALBUM <Title
TBA> (Due Spring 2025)
Ice Planet 9000 are currently working on their third album – focusing
on long form ambient pieces inspired by Nebula and the eternal sound of super
nova remnants. All tracks are recorded live using Blaster Beam (a six foot instrument
with 11 piano wires tuned to the low threshold of human hearing), Moog One,
vintage samplers and modular synthesizers.
