Side-Line introduces Llumen – listen now to ‘Lux Aeterna (Simon Carter’s Breaks Remix)’ (Face The Beat profile series)

The 44th track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Belgian intelligent electro act Llumen.
Llumen was formed somewhere in the first decade of the 21st century. Originally a 3-an project it was brought back to a 1-man project in 2009. Llumen is the more structured part of Pieter Coussement’s artistic output, who works as an artistic researcher at the Institute of Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music of the University of Ghent. In his daytime job he develops new user interfaces and instruments for electronic music, probably the wet dream of every electronic music musician. You can check out the band right here on Facebook.
The band released it’s first official album “The Memory Institute” in 2016 on Alfa Matrix preceded by the single “Cold In December”. And the track we present today comes from that EP in a remixed version by Simon Carter.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
