Island by Earthshine
A Serene Electronic Journey Inspired by Iceland
Modulate Records, the brand-new digital-first imprint spun off from Rock Company, proudly announces the release of Island, the captivating new album by Earthshine.
Earthshine is the creative alias of Dutch musician and producer Peter Cox, who wrote, performed, and recorded the entire album at his Down The Road Studio in the Netherlands. With Island, Cox invites listeners on an instrumental voyage of calm and wonder—an experience shaped by the breathtaking landscapes and quiet power of Iceland.
The album’s title carries a layered meaning:
• Iceland itself, whose Icelandic name Ísland inspired the spelling.
• Island as a concept, a solitary yet beautiful place, reflecting the music’s sense of space and tranquility.
Built on gentle electronic textures and soothing rhythms, Island offers a collection of atmospheric tracks designed for deep listening, relaxation, and escape.
“This music reflects how Iceland made me feel—peaceful, wide-open, and alive with subtle energy,”
says Peter Cox.

Earthshine stands for instrumental music, with hints of film music, ambient and new age. The use of guitars will be kept to a minimum as this is all about keyboards. Think piano, the mighty mellotron, organ and synths. Drums and bass will be present when needed.
