about

Award winning Australian composer and synthesist Jim Ottaway has released his new ambient album ‘Threshold of the Universe’. This album follows the release of Jim’s international award-winning album 'When Eternity Touches Time’ which was awarded Best Electronic Album at the 17th Annual Zone Music Reporter Awards in New Orleans, USA in July 2021.

‘Threshold of the Universe’ is a continuation of Jim's series of space ambient releases including 'Beyond the Purple Sun', ‘Deep Space Blue’, ‘Southern Cross’, 'Liquid Moon', ‘Orion’, ‘Centauri’ and ‘Aurora’. The album is made up of nine tracks all representing aspects of a space journey to the threshold of the universe. As the album’s liner notes indicate, Jim’s goal is to take the listener on a journey through infinite space to the threshold of the universe… to see the spectacular parallel suns… to visit an alien star… to get a glimpse of the two trillion galaxies in our universe… and to see intriguing dark matter through distorted starlight, along with many other wonders of the universe.

Jim says that he compiled this album from tracks composed and recorded as early as August 2007 and completed recording and production in July 2021. The album liner notes indicate that “All tracks are live improvised studio recordings with minimal overdubs”... a recording technique, Jim says, he has used for all his ambient albums.

While trying to create his own style of electronic music, Jim acknowledges the influence artists such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Edgar Froese, Enigma, Pink Floyd, Johannes Schmoelling, Christopher Franke, Code Indigo, Gary Wright, and Aussie artists… Christopher Buckman, Tony O'Connor and Lisa Gerrard, on his music.

Jim composes and records all his music in his home studio situated at the foothills of the beautiful Springbrook Mountain on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

All tracks are composed, performed, produced and mastered by Jim Ottaway.

Official release date: 20 August 2021.
