A rising talent in Australia’s contemporary music scene, Perth-based electronic music producer Adam Davis, known as Star Departures, is set to unleash three full-length albums this year. This marks a significant moment for Davis, who has been carving out a unique space in the electronic music scene for the past four years, boldly incorporating samples and AI into his creative process.
Davis sees this innovative approach as the future of music, and his latest project, Star Departures, is a testament to this belief. It follows his earlier work under the moniker Creativity Nativity Scene, where he explored sounds inspired by Western film scores.
Davis embarked on his musical journey back in 2013, confined to a hospital bed due to illness, he began making music using just his iPhone and various apps – a starting point that shaped his early sound. Creativity Nativity Scene, with its electronic and Western fusion, saw the release of several projects, including the evocative EP ‘Sometimes We Arrive At The Shortfall’, which blended ambient synths with sweeping Western-tinged melodies.
Now, with Star Departures, Davis is pushing into more experimental territory, blending ambient, electronic, and cinematic elements to create expansive soundscapes. Tracks like ‘I Guess it's Music That Loved Me All Along’, ‘Black Still Feels Like Home To Me’, ‘Happy For You’, and ‘Capsules’ shine with his innovative sound, offering a vibrant snapshot into his world. Above them all, ‘Judgment Day Dreams’ stands as an essential release from Star Departures, demanding and deserving to be heard.
The first of the three albums due this May, the self-titled ‘Star Departures’, is an album set to be a significant milestone for Davis, delivering a perfect illustration of how his music has evolved into a rich tapestry of sound that reflects both personal introspection and broader thematic narratives. Along with the string of albums, there is also a music video for ‘I Guess it’s Music That Loved Me All Along’ planned, adding another dimension to Davis' sound and style.
You can explore Adam Davis's evolving sound and his work under both Star Departures and Creativity Nativity Scene on platforms like SoundCloud. With three albums on the horizon this May, it's the perfect time to tune into the unique world of Star Departures.
