Joel Gilardini is a Zurich (Switzerland) based experimental guitarist and sound designer. The Age Of Space is a progressive ambient release based on experimental guitar loops.

He is also the mastermind behind the experimental-doom-metal act The Land Of The Snow.
The album starts with floating ambient tunes drenched in scratchy waves of distortion. You immediately feel a beautiful cosmic tension in the immersive soundscapes. Gilardini explores new avenues in manipulating his instruments and tools. His textures create a hazy and mysterious atmosphere that makes the adventure of his compositions extremely fascinating. By using live‐looping and improvisation techniques, Gilardini blends unique elements together. He shapes a hybrid wave of soundscapes sublimating into powerful resonances.
The Age Of Space comes to you in healing waves of cosmic pulses that navigates the auditor through alien cinematographic worlds. This album has dreamy sounds with darkened moods. Gilardini introduces an experimental space ambient journey with a surprising outcome. This is just blistering splendid experimental ambient music!
