ALBUM RELEASE

Dave Luxton - Portal

Bar code: 8 84502 5058 3
Release Date: 6/21/10
Produced by: Dave Luxton

Wayfarer Records is set to release Dave Luxton’s new studio album Portal on June 21, 2010. The album features eight new and exciting compositions written and produced by Luxton.

Drawing from his experience as a film composer, Luxton takes a more cinematic approach on Portal than on his previous electronic ambient releases. His use of cascading layers of strings and droning pads along with intentionally minimal but effective melodies create mysterious, three dimensional atmospheres. Standout tracks include Coriolis and To the Titanic.  On Portal, Luxton continues his masterful use of tension and resolve to create musical soundscapes that will transport listeners to other worlds.

Dave Luxton is a producer, electronic musician, composer and guitarist from Olympia WA, USA.  Portal is his fifth album in the ambient electronic genre. His previous works, such as 2008’s Hidden Music and 2009’s The Divided Line, continue to receive airplay on numerous radio stations across the United States and overseas. Portal is available from CDBaby.com, Amazon.com, iTunes, and all other major digital download services.

1. Return to a Distant Star
2. Nebula
