Lunar sounds like a digital architect building a cathedral out of light and static. The music pairs the emotional weight of a full string section with the frantic, precise energy of IDM and glitch. It is cinematic in scope but technical in execution, creating a sense of 'epic' that feels modern and wired rather than traditional or dusty.
What sets Matt McKegg apart is the seamless integration of organic textures and digital destruction. He doesn't just put beats over strings; he treats the orchestra as a sample source to be chopped, stuttered, and rearranged. This creates a unique tension where the music feels both humanly expressive and inhumanly complex, moving from soaring melodies to abrasive digital noise in a single breath.
Start with Hybrid Awaken to experience the project's most accessible and inspiring heights. If you prefer something more claustrophobic and immersive, Wall of Sound pushes the textures into darker, more industrial territory that rewards close listening with high-quality headphones.
