about

Isolated Continents: The Forgotten Music of Felix Ookean Vol. III is an instrumental concept album recreating the soundtrack to a 1977 documentary series produced by eccentric Australian nature documentary maker and composer, Felix Ookean. An eclectic trip through late-20th century Australiana and musical esoterica, the album covers a huge amount of stylistic ground, incorporating nods to early synthesiser pioneers, Balinese gamelan, world-music facsimiles, field recordings, and spoken word.

Isolated Continents is the sequel to Echoes of Australis: The Forgotten Music of Felix Ookean Vol. II (cambrianexplosion.bandcamp.com/album/echoes-of-australis)

Praise for Echoes of Australis: The Forgotten Music of Felix Ookean Vol. II (2021):

"This is some awesome stuff [...] The sort of nature soundtrack vibe you guys are creating is a really nice sound palette that allows for some softer textures to shine through." - Tim Smolens (Estradasphere, Secret Chiefs 3)

Praise for The Forgotten Music of Felix Ookean (2011):

“I find your album very interesting.” - Sven Libaek, legendary Australian soundtrack composer

“This is completely out of the box... so strange and quite beguiling.” - Peter Knight, Artistic Director - Australian Art Orchestra
