Arcturian Archives

A retrospective voyage through a revolution in technology for both space theaters and space music! In 1980s and 1990s, Mark C. Petersen created some custom Geodesium music for some special planetarium shows — part system demos and part cosmic journey. The resulting soundtracks influenced his musical stylings in seminal ways, cementing in the minds of many his place as one of the top space music composers for domed theater shows. This album captures the musical tenor of those times. The works contained on Arcturian Archives are full-fledged music projects created about the same time as West of the Galaxy and Fourth Universe — two of his most popular albums. Many of these tracks have never been heard before, outside of the few planetarium performances for which they were commissioned. And there are three elaborate renditions of popular orchestral works, given unique Geodesium sound stylings. Bask in the music and immerse yourself in a special aural tour through the mists of time — Geodesium Arcturian Archives.
