Larry Kolota, Kinesis Progressive Rock CDs, June 2007, Kinesis CD site (www.kinesiscd.com).

"Zózimo Rech and Adrianne Simioni have combined their efforts under the name Astronomusic. The cover artwork may suggest new age, but both musicians play guitar as well as keyboards and both combine synth music and instrumental progressive rock unlike anyone else. Unlike some electronic musicians who have little formal training or experience in bands, Rech and Simioni have both, and they certainly can play. In addition to time spent in rock and fusion bands, they were both in Orquestra Profana in the early 1990's, an ensemble dedicated to the interpretation of classical music with electric and electronic instruments. The Life of a Star is by and large a loud, bombastic progressive rock album that uses a lot of synths, but electric guitar prevails. It was recorded back in 1997 but not released until 2006. Pictures of a Solar System (2006)is considered the sequel. This one has some electric guitar and some rock but is more of a symphonic/melodic/rhythmic synth album along the lines of Synergy, though with higher energy, and sometimes touching upon the style of Fonya. It is compositionally the more mature album. Simioni plays electric and acoustic guitar and electric violin. Rech has arranging, co-arranging, and/or co-writing credits on all the songs on her 2006 album The Intelligible Sky, produced the album, and took care of the keyboards and sequencers. It is an album that is more progressive rock than synth music. It has more than enough energy and complexity for progressive rock fans, yet is full of sophisticated synth textures, both symphonic and spacey. The drums on all these albums are programmed, but they are well done; a human drummer would not have added much. The booklet for Pictures of a Solar System is particularly beautiful, 24 full-color panels featuring astronomy images created by Frank Hettick. Progressive rock fans should probably start with The Intelligible Sky, synth music fans with Pictures of a Solar System, but those open to both prog rock and synth music will find great music on any of these."

Magnífico trabalho, o grupo Astronomusic consegue nos envolver totalmente com sua Música New Age (passando pela Space Music) até a Música Progressiva (Space Rock e Progressivo Eletrônico), sem contar com a belíssima apresentação de seus álbuns, especialmente de Pictures Of A Solar System...
Hudson Pires

If creation had a soundtrack, it would be Astronomusic.
Using classical music as a launching pad, Zozimo and Adrianne, take modern electronic instrumentation from the first fires of creation, to the edge of the universe, and beyond.
Imagination is a path they lay before you with their music, as it explores the voices of the tiniest particles, to the massive stars, planets, and beings into which, they evolve.
The music of the spheres' takes on new life as Astronomusic use their instruments to portray the energy, mass, and spirit of the cosmos.
Adrianne and Zozimo will also take you on an inner journey, to the beginnings of human awareness, and his place in the grand starscape of the ancient skies.
The blend of science, imagination, and art, are not new to mankind, we have tried thru the ages to reconcile our experiences, with our dreams, and the mysteries of existence. So close your eyes, open your mind, and come on a journey that brings it all together in a musical harmony that frees the imagination, and lifts the spirit.

"Brilliant, exciting, and intelligently crafted ground breaking works with astounding depth, detail, and creativity. Zozimo and Adrianne's combined virtuosity rock the Southern Hemisphere with a vengeance! Quite possible to explore the depths of space without leaving your home; put on a good pair of headphones, close your eyes, strap in, and let Astronomusic provide the perfect soundtrack for personal interstellar exploration and a journey you won't soon forget! Incredible!"

Carlo D'Anna, SoundClick musician and songwriter, Seattle , USA , Feb. 26 2008, by e-mail

I don't give out compliments lightly, and I have listened to quite a lot of lead solos in my day, and that stands out as possibly one of the best I have heard. There is true emotion in the playing. Just when you feel that the piece has pushed to a certain level, it kicks up another notch.

Mike Smitreski, SoundClick artist, known as Shadestream...
       "Who needs a rocket to experience space travel when you have a musical ensemble such as Astronomusic to take you to the stars!
       I learned of their existence through SoundClick.com
       Hearing Burn Again for the first time rejuvenated my love for classically oriented rock bands such as Yes, ELP, UK and King Crimson.
       Adrianne and Zozimo are awesome musicians and composers who will take you beyond Earth's bounds to places seen only by our space probes and visionary artists!"

"Fantástico".....acho que é uma das palavras que exprimem o trabalho de voces, "SPACE MUSIC" de super qualidade!!!
Sinceramente foi muito além de minhas expectativas....sem querer ofender e comparar, mas quando comprei os CD´s do ARJEN ANTHONY LUCASSEN´S que faz "space metal" eu esperava muito mais música espacial do que metal.Ou seja ele não inovou nada, só umas introduções futuristas e depois nas execuções era o velho e bom "metal" de sempre.
E ao contrário do Lucassen vc´s colocaram as guitarras e cordas num patamar totalmente SIDERAL com a ambientalização espacial dos sintetizadores e sons sintéticos do começo ao fim....MARAVILHOSO!!!
Agora....que Show de virtuosismo na execução das "guita" heim?!!!

Eu espero sinceramente que Astronomusic não pare por aí, mas que seja um projeto de milhares de trabalhos!
Só tenho uma dica, acho que ficaria super legal se na passagem de uma faixa para outra não tivesse o intervalo de silêncio....Porque eu senti que o trabalho de vc´s sendo temático, uma verdadeira saga cósmica!, dispensaria sossegado os intervalinhos entre as músicas!!! É só uma opinião!

Não mudem o estilo por nada!!! O PROJETO ASTRONOMUSIC é a “sonzera” espacial que estava faltando!!!

Ah! Esqueci de argumentar sobre a qualidade da parte gráfica do ASTRONOMUSIC....que primor heim!? Alta qualidade mesmo! Parabéns!

Greetings! By way of introduction, my name is Jim Brennan and I am the owner and Program Director for Aural Moon, a Progressive Rock netcast. We are non-profit and completely advertising free. You may find us on the web at http://auralmoon.com . I have listened to several music samples on your website, and we would love to add some of your music to our playlist.

Apophany, (SoundClick artist) commenting Spacetronic Eyes posted on Sun March 9 2008,

Very ambient, and the guitars were absolutely breathtaking! The music of Astronomusic anticipates a genre of symphonic space-rock that far surpasses any antecedent.

Bobby Wayne (SoundClick artist) Oregon, USA commenting Explorers posted on Tue July 8, 2008

Your music is a constant inspiration. Creativity abounds, this wonderful journey is inviting yet mysterious. Instrumentation is superb, acoustic is sublime.

Zózimo e a Adri (não necessariamente nessa mesma ordem... heheheh!) são, além de pessoas maravilhosas, gente fina mesmo, dois músicos prá lá de talentosos! E quem ganha com isso somos nós!!!!!
Mesmo a gente não se vendo nem se falando muito, adoro vocês, tenho certeza que essa nova fase e projetos vão dar ainda muito o que falar, bom, já tá né... e quero ver show logo!!! :D
Mil beijocas carinhosas e, como diz o Super-Homem, pro alto e avante!!! (de preferência, bem pertinho das estrelas!)

Essa dupla é demais; o Zozimo quando eu ainda não sabia o que era modo jônico já tocava o Mood for a Day do Yes e o Mediterranean Sundance do Paco, McLaughlin e Al Di meola....é fácil!!!!! A Adriana sabe tudo de guitarra e violino....saudade das aulas dela de guitarra mas eu era um aluno muito relapso e medíocre.....ficou a grande admiração por essa dupla criativa....só penso que estão no país errado!!!!! Espero que dê certo por aqui, mas tenho certeza que vão aparecer convites do exterior - essa combinação de talento, astronomia e música só podia dar nisso. Bom saber que tem brasileiro com esse talento. Grande abraço, professores.

I met Astronomusic on Myspace last year.
I immediately was impressed by their original music, something really unique.
I understood that a solid professional skill guided their innovative research and development of new sounds and spatial atmospheres.
No doubt! Astronomusic mark a new way to very high level music.
Then I discovered that Zozimo and Adrianne are also two wonderful persons and friends.
So I am proud and honored to say that I am sincerely Astronomusic friend and fan.

Classical and Electronic Music Composer, Professor of Music (UFRGS, OSPA, - Brazil -)

"Zozimo Rech, in his earlier album The Life Of A Star, based most of his tracks on the electric guitar – whereas his new Pictures Of A Solar System expands dramatically through his use of the electronic synthesizer. The wide-ranging textural techniques he displays in this album – such as his Seven Moons where the aficionado may follow up to seven distinct voices ‘orbiting' around the sound system – are exceptional. And in Comet Trip he exquisitely manipulates a 13 notes melody using a saw tooth wave shape through filters, envelop generator, sustain pedal and modulation effects through his sequencer.

He has, in this album, expanded his theme-variations technique: his Born From Ashes theme reappears in Planet Formation, Star Gazers, and Explorers; the fanfare in his introduction to Asteroid Belt comes around again but noticeably different in Almost A Home; CMZ (Circumstelar Melting Zone), CHZ (Circumstelar Habitable Zone) and CFZ (Circumstelar Frozen Zone) are three dimensions of another theme; and The First Sunbeam is closely related to his introduction for the piece Burn Again.

Listening to Zozimo's Pictures Of A Solar System has proved to be a great pleasure to me: a trip through the galaxy in a sequence of 24 ambients, all of them with moments of surprising serenity, even in the most vigorous pieces. Terrestrial and human quarrels are forgotten, leading us to unexpected comfortable spheres, inviting for meditation. Gravity is suspended... our afflictions are undone... Explorers in this voyage to the stars should take this music with them as consolation."

"Zozimo Rech, em seu primeiro album The Life Of A Star ( A Vida De Uma Estrela ), baseou a maioria de suas músicas na guitarra elétrica – ao passo que em seu novo Pictures Of A Solar System ( Quadros De Um Sistema Solar ) expande dramaticamente através do seu uso de sintetizadores eletrônicos. As várias técnicas texturais que ele mostra neste album – tais como em Seven Moons ( Sete Luas ) onde o aficcionado pode seguir até sete distinta vozes 'orbitando' em volta de seu sistema de som estéreo – são excepcionais. E em Comet Trip ( Viagem De Um Cometa ) ele com rara habilidade manipula uma melodia de 13 notas usando uma onda de dente de serra através de filtros, geradores de envelope, pedal de sustain e efeitos de modulação por meio de seu seqüenciador.

Também neste album, ele expandiu sua técnica de variações de tema: seu tema em From Ashes ( Das Cinzas ) reaparece em Planet Formation ( Formação Planetária ), Star Gazers ( Comtempladores Das Estrelas ), e Explorers ( Exploradores ); a fanfarra em sua introdução para Asteroid Belt (Cinturão De Asteróides) retorna mas notavelmente diferente em Almost A Home ( Quase Um Lar ); CMZ - Circumstelar Melting Zone ( Zona Circumstelar De Fusão ), CHZ - Circumstelar Habitable Zone ( Zona Circumstelar Habitável ) e CFZ - Circumstelar Frozen Zone ( Zona Circumstelar Congelante ) são três dimensões de um outro tema; e The First Sunbeam ( O Primero Raio De Sol ) é intimamente relacionado a sua introdução para a peça Burn Again ( Queime Novamente ).

Ouvir Pictures Of A Solar System de Zózimo provou ser um grande prazer para mim: uma viagem pela galáxia em uma seqüencia de 24 ambientes, todos ele com momentos de surpreendente serenidade, mesmo nas peças mais vigorosas. Disputas humanas e terrestres são esquecidas, transporta-se inesperadamente à esferas aconchegantes, um convite à meditação. A gravidade é suspensa... nossas aflições são desfeitas... Exploradores nesta viagem aos confins do universo devem levar esta música para se consolarem."

I admit I was atracted by the name. I expected to hear some electronica, I'm fond of electronic sound. But your music is mostly progressive rock. Not so bald - as prog rock usually is -, but beautiful and intelligent. And very well done. You have great musical skills and a lot of know-how. Your music stands on solid ground, I can feel that. Terrific influences had been digested. Brazil seems to be an ideal place for cultural fusion. Compliments! It was a pleasure to discover you on Myspace.
Keep doing it!

Olá amigos.... maravilhoso o trabalho de vocês.... não quero chegar a rotular o som que fazem, porém, em alguns momentos fazem lembrar desde o trabalho de Larry Fast (do Sinergy) até o de Peter Bardens (tecladista do Camel), com influências que vão de Bach à Jean-Luc Ponty e ao Kraftwerk.... não liguem para minhas opiniões de amador não.... o som é maravilhoso e eu gostaria de saber como posso conseguir um cd ou mp3 com as músicas na íntegra.... caso venham a apresentarem -se aqui no Rio, comumniquem-me... terei o maior prazer em assistí-los... Um ótimo final de semana... do seu mais novo fã!!!! Abraços!!!!

Carlos Eduardo, 06/11/07, Orkut

Olha, como crítico que sou, principalmente do progressivo, new age e da Space Music em geral, posso falar que o som da Astronomusic é no mínimo de altíssima qualidade.
É impressionante o som que vcs extraem.
Falo seguramente, que para mim, a Astronomusic está ao lado de Tangerine Dream, Camel, Ash Ra Tempel e Vangelis. E não estou exagerando!!

Até então músico brasileiro com tal qualidade só conhecia Eloy Fritsch, e agora Astronomusic!!

Kizzy Sirius, astrônoma amadora, 05/12/07, Orkut

Cara... que som! Isto tudo me faz lembrar um monte de coisas como: Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Genesis com Steve Hacket, Marillion e outras coisas do Prog-Rock, porém com pitadas de Satriani e Steve Vay. Adoro solos de GTR e sons de sintetizadores vintages! Vocês tem é de botar uma banda tocando no braço isso tudo ao vivo para mostrarmos ao mundo que ainda existem pessoas com bom gosto pra fazer música! Parabéns pelo trabalho, estou impressionado e fascinado pelas músicas! Já virei fã de vocês!
Quem sabe um dia os astros, os ultras, os seres extras e os Deuses... possam tornar um sonho em realidade!
Um forte abraço com mta luz, mtas energias e mto sucesso...

ah your music is awesome i feel this music wake every one of my senses up and each one has a different emotion attached to it I've just heard star gazers and it was like the way i feel when i woke up and could see ( if this makes sense) can i ask if i may use a few of your songs in a blog in another space of mine. to be able to describe a few things, as i have a limited words to work with, my poems and other things come from nowhere so to speak, you put all of you into these songs I've never heard that before, again thank you so much for being a friend peace be with you always have fun Anna Pudan, SoundClick musician, Canada , by e-mail, Dec 5 2007 I love it! Simple, peaceful, then a bit more complex and emotionally moving, a powerful climax leading back into simplicity. You have run the gamut of my feelings today. I needed to hear this today. Thanks for this bit of healing. Jovian Moons reminds me that the cares of this everyday world are small compared to the immensity and beauty of the universe. - Anna

Zozimo and Adrianne,
We listened to "Dancing with the Invisible" and as usual, we were blown away by the song. You guys are absolutely amazing. From that classic click organ sound to the amazing guitar work, we had to give this song a few listens. Truly an absolutely terrific piece of art. About 2 minutes 50 seconds in, there's a part where the guitar gets a little heavy with some excellent double picking... this really floored us. Great timing, excellent melody. Just a brilliant song!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Keep in touch, and continued success.

Hello my friends.

RE: "Spacetronic Eyes"
There are not enough stars here to rate your new song!
It is truly a "Stellar" Piece. I can hardly believe what I'm hearing.
The progressions remind me of ' Boston '
but with the modern strat of a Malmsteen... or a Paul Gilbert.
Absolutely Fantastic !!!

Hi, thanks for introducing me to your excellent music. Your music is high quality sounding and I like the electronic and rock combo. Kind of reminds me of ELP, which I enjoy a lot. I'll be sure to add your music to a couple of my stations soon. I'll let you know when I add it. Again, great music!
Take care,
Ellis

"Dancing With The Invisible" - great title, for a lovely, feel-good tune, executed with your normal virtuosity. Wish I could play the guitar that fast !

Very best wishes to you both,
Michel Griffin

As I was listening this song my thoughts were of radiant cosmic music moving immaterially through the ether of the known universe. The melody allows you a peek into the stuff between the light and dark photons streaming across the galaxies in wave after wave of the wonderful sound vibrations throughout the cosmic ocean. Great musical piece guys.
Cheers

If there is any definition to "space" music - Zozimo and Adrianne have it with their moving astrono music. Not only a unique theme that they have, but extremely well composed, performed, and produced. Always a treat to listen - and " Exotic Ocean " is meditationally serene... Bravo!
Cheers, Bob

Zo and Adrianne:

Your music is absolute genius!!! Your talents are magnificent!!! This good ole country girl from Nashville , Tennessee loves to lay out in the field with your songs on my IPod and look at the heavenlies with your music!!! The stars seem to scream your melodies. Please count me as one of your multitude of fans!!!!

Blessings,

Another Masterpiece!! Absolutely Brilliant Guitar playing!!
I wish I could play like that.. You Really Rock out on this one Adrianne!! Love the Piano parts too..This is my favorite so far and is going on my Top Picks/5 Star Station..

Love the energy of this rock soundscape. The guitar playing is fantastic and the beat had my foot a'tappin all the way through. This is music at its best - actually reminded me a little of the old Genesis but the production here was far superior in my opinion and I should know as I have jammed with Tony Banks & Co. Oh! am I showing my age?

Great Production!

I luv the band Yes..and ELP.. But I think you guys take it to the next level and this is just great music to my ear..very polished and the guitar work is Excellent!! Well Done!! Bravo......;-)

Marco

Very ambient, and the guitars were absolutely breathtaking! The music of Astronomusic anticipates a genre of symphonic space-rock that far surpasses any antecedent.

je vois la un grand moment de musique . c'est beau à entendre et il y a aussi de la virtuosité.
bravo.
Jacky

From the many, many songs on Soundclick....this is one of only a few that I've just had to listen to again and again.
Brilliant piece of music and a credit to your excellence.
pete

absolutely amazing ...im speechless...great production every thing about it i love ...great work, gonna add it to my station so i can listen to it more....

Wow! You capture a sense of drama and power very well with the intro and then the way the music kicks in. Wonderful guitar work in the left and right stereo in the middle of the track there. You are amazingly talented and unique!

Fabulous guitar-playing -- sounds like a real conversation, each of you trying to out-do the other. And it's we, the listeners who are the winners. Yes, a winning track.

Best wishes,
Michel Griffin

Brilliant!, really can envision a sequential mollecular arrangement being formed (by chance?) one atom at a time. Very economical use of the voices that paint this picture. Makes one ponder could it be that we are merely a result of random elemental based arrangements, very cool stuff, great job Zoz!

I listened several times, each time I was able to pick out something new, It's very well thought out and gives a great music picture of the moons. It kind of reminded me of Manhiem Steamroller a bit. I was surprised by the shortness of it, but you managed to say a lot in the short time of the piece.
Jack

Took a few listens to fully appreciate what you were portraying ..
The character of the individual moons and their orbital "frequencies"

I interpreted this as Callisto the first midrange "voice",
with Europa the 2nd, slightly higher voice,
then Io with its' "high pitch" voice.
and finally the "bass" voice of Ganymede ..
Love the imagery!!
almost hit the fiver for "vocals"

Good counterpuntal arrangement, interesting synth sounds have a seasonal feeling. Short but sweet, a fugue even Bach would be proud! Well done Adrianne.

It is of no surprise that your music receives so many good reviews. Excellence is the order of the day in composition, playing style and production. This track definitely has the WOW factor. The synths are great and the brilliant guitar work in the 'homesick' segment strikes a beautiful balance.
I love the idea of describing the progression of the piece - it adds to the experience. Well done once again Zozimo and Adrianne! I remain a big fan.

I'd never been into space, not until now. To experience the weightlessness, feel the vastness, incased in the blackness of it all. Such a mesmerizing journey of floating in your music, letting it fill my head, all the textures washing over me. The say that one day we will all travel in space, but I have just been there sooner than I could ever have hoped for, with your phenomenal music. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. You two are two truly great artists

ZÓZIMO & ADRIANNE: Hi Niels. We are using Fender Stratocaster guitars, a Marshall JMP-1 pre-amp and TubeAmps Gemini power amps. Adrianne also uses an ADA MP-1 pre-amp for some hi-gain sounds.

RICARDO DALFARRA - engineer, bassist, amateur astronomer (Criciuma, SC), March 2007

Amigo Zozimo Inicialmente, te parabenizo pela idéia de juntar os conceitos de astronomia e musica em um só evento. Extremo bom gosto e muita complexidade no teu trabalho. O que eu já esperava, mas mesmo assim tu me surpreendes sempre... O layout de The Life Of A Star já estava ótimo e tu conseguiste deixá-lo ainda melhor....o 8º track - The Collapsing Star, eu a classificaria como "magnífica", dentro de minha humilde capacidade de julgamento. Seguem algumas breves considerações sobre cada uma das 24 musicas do CD Pictures Of A Solar System... 1 - Surgimento, chegada 2 - Lembra a introdução do CD1...The life of a Star...inspirativa... 3 - Pulsação / energia 4 - Delicada, suave 5 - Metamorfose 6 - Primeiros raios, acordando 7 - Girando...em busca de... 8 - Contemplação...frio 9 - realismo, passeando entre os asteroides, movimento 10 - Oportunidade, transição 11 - Sutileza, complexidade... 12 - Chuva, gotas... 13 - Dança etérea 14 - Profundidade, lentidão, água 15 - Dinâmica, causa x efeito 16 - Espaço, transformação, movimento...cores.. 17 - Tensão, drama 18 - Alívio, harmonia 19 - Frieza, abstração 20 - Construção, estritiração 21 - Complexidade, infinito 22 - Encadeamento, processo 23 - Solidão, saudade, necessidade de realizar 24 - Contemplação Pra pegar uma estrada é ótimo...se for a noite então...só falta ser abduzido...

MANOLO ONETO – Computer programmer, amateur astronomer (constructed his own telescope) and Tubeamps manufacturer (from São Paulo, Brazil), February 2007

Gostei muito dos três CDs e achei a idéia excelente, como já havia lhe dito. Porém fiquei encantado com a qualidade do acabamento dos álbuns. Excelente - perfeitos.

Fiquei impressionado com sua técnica, muito boa. Na verdade, quando li a parte final do encarte do CD "The Life Of A Star" achei surpreendente que vc tocasse todos os instrumentos, ainda mais através de sintetizadores e sequencers.

Quanto à música em si, achei muito rica; tanto em timbres quanto em harmonia. Vc tirou muitos timbres que eu só havia escutado até hoje com o Jeff Beck. Muito bom mesmo.

Entrei no site e li que vc apresentou numa entrevista em uma rádio sua interpretação do Moto Perpétuo de Paganini. Sempre achei mágica essa seqüência maravilhosa de notas e e me parecia impossível que alguém pudesse tocá-la de memória. Muito legal.

PAULO NETZ, pneumologist and musician (from Novo Hamburgo, Brazil), February 2007

Sempre digo aos entusiastas da guitarra e amantes da música bem feita que os melhores guitarristas que eu conheço são a Adri e o Zózimo. São pessoas que vivem para a música; gênios que respiram música e se alimentam de música. Para eles, assim como para mim, não existe vida sem música.

Com o lançamento tão esperado dessas obras-primas parece que um facho de luz intergaláctica iluminou Porto Alegre, com solos estratosféricos, música bem construída, com arranjos de um bom gosto tão sublime que faz a gente se sentir como se estivesse numa viagem interestelar. Este trabalho de uma vida inteira dedicada à música, merece destaque especial em todo o mundo. É uma amostra primorosa da capacidade dos nossos artistas; uma verdadeira aula de música e técnica avançada de guitarra.

Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho.

Continuo impressionado com todos os timbres de guitarra e com o som emocionante do violino da Adri.

A Fender deveria lhes recompensar por extrair timbres tão fantásticos dessas guitarras.

Obrigado por me fazerem sentir tão bem ouvindo esse som.

Cordial abraço a vocês e aguardando aquele show prometido,

O trabalho apresentado é muito original. Na verdade eu ainda não tinha tido a oportunidade de assistir algo semelhante.

Em alguns momentos tinha-se a impressão de estarmos assistindo um filme de ficção científica com uma trilha sonora bem contemporânea.

Espero que tenham sucesso neste trabalho diferenciado e de muito bom gosto realizado por dois mestres da guitarra e violino.

Particularmente me sinto muito orgulhoso também de poder ter estado tocando com vocês dois em algumas ocasiões.

Vamos agora tocar o barco para frente pois vejo um belo futuro para um trabalho de extrema competência.
