Bluey Moon is a Melbourne-based singer/songwriter/producer who produces multifaceted music which can be described as experimental hip-hop, psychedelic jazz, ambient or downtempo R&B/soul. Bluey Moon is part earth and sea; part air, fire and ether. Blurring the edges is constant in a coming together of electronic rhythms, organic textures and lush flowing vocals. Stripped back, synthesised and drenched in hues of blue, what emerges is a kaleidoscopic dance of sonic sensibilities. Entranced in lingering loops and melodic harmonies, Bluey Moon explores and gets lost in existential meanderings, quests for higher meaning in a world searching for answers. It is this interstellar interplay that comes to the shore of consciousness on a rippling stream. Time has place here. By moonlight you are welcomed into the sanctuary, the inner workings of the spirit.
