Biography

Stephen Hitchell delivers a serious treat for his legion of devoted followers with the next logical step in the Echospace saga leading to “The Setting Sun”, this digital only release exploring sublime ambient electronics in a textured, analog style. As Variant, Hitchell delves into his most expansive and inspiring palette with three expansive tracks ranging from eleven minutes up to forty four minutes plus, sketched onto his canvas with a widescreen scope and an emotionally affected cinematic intent that makes this a deeply engrossing listen.

    The Setting Sun is still one of my favorite listening albums, it works in any environment. It's a real tragedy there's only one album in existence, why?

    Making excellent albums seems like an easy task for Stephen Hitchell. That is impressive how creative his music sounds out of analog equipment only.
