This neo-classical electronic album is filled with
spirals of melody, circular structures, sequences,
and patterns inspired by the works of the Greek
mathematician Archimedes. The ensemble, as the

name suggests, is led by Goldfrapp’s Will Gregory

Harriet Riley and Ruth Wall. Their instruments
include Minimoog, Moog Voyager, Korg 700s,
Prophet 6, and Roland JX-3P, with their individual
lines and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales
coming together in intricate arrangements creating
a stunning superstructure of sounds.
Heat Ray is an album that brings ancient history into
the modern world, pushing us towards an endlessly
curious and fascinating future.
