Still Crescent is the moniker of Sebastien Wright, whose previous releases on Make Mine Music came out under the name August Stars. With his Still Crescent project Sebastien wanted to explore more electronic/computer based sounds, as opposed to the more organic soundscapes of August Stars.
The debut release was the darkly isolationist The Railway Terminus, The October Twilight, The Circulatory System, released in early 2008. It was followed a few months later by Along The Fringe of Starlit Frost, perhaps more accessible than it’s predecessor, it was Sebastien’s foray into more structured electronic music. The music itself was described by boomkat as “…a chilly absoluteness, combining soft drones with brittle crackling textures.â€
A third EP will be made available for free download in early winter 2010.
