Zeki’s visualizer for “Astroplaning” delivers more than a little on the title. A blue figure representing the astral body of a sleeping figure astral projects around the world to the Sphinx and to outer space. And dense synth pulses like a day glow bass line marks time with the percussion as the strained vocals outline the ways in which we often feel isolated and in the case of our narrator the manner in which he tries to get the attention he craves by becoming an entertainer. Musically it’s a little like a synthwave Dose One track with a bit more angst and desperation in the vocals fitting regarding a song that seems to be a litany of anxiety that in the end relents just a little as the astral body in the video settles back into the physical body which wakes to the face the morning sun. Its a song that leaves you feeling like something happened to ease out the nerve wracking clutter of the mind through the sheer freedom of being able to use the imagination to undertake a mysterious journey into the cosmos and back.
