Damian Boylan – Expansions
“A beautiful journey to the world of dreams, in which such amazing genres as the atmosphere of Experimental Electronic, the Downloads Downtempo and the elegance of Neo Classical are intertwined. Magic and magic in one bottle, which must be drunk to the bottom.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Красивое путешествие в мир снов, в котором переплелись такие удивительные жанры, как атмосфера Experimental Electronic, ритмы Downtempo и изящность Neo Classical. Магия и волшебство в одном флаконе, испить который надо до дна.”

Expansions is the first single from British visual artist, composer & producer, Damian Boylan’s forthcoming 2 x 12” LP vinyl, studio album, Rarefactions. Mastered by Matt Colton (Brian Eno, Four Tet, Thom Yorke, Flume, Bicep, Caribou), and conducted with live strings from Air Studios, London (Hans Zimmer, Ólafur Arnalds), this debut experimental electronic and contemporary, classically infused composition sets the scene for an album that treads a sumptuous balance between poignant instrumentation and experimental foley based percussion.
Each artwork for the 12 album tracks comes from Boylan’s accompanying series of paintings, as well as official videos to accompany each song, also produced and directed by Damian Boylan
