Sternenabfall (single) by Shape Navigator
Sternenabfall radio edit from the Shape Navigator album 'Journal' out on 27th February 2026.
A kosmische drone journey built from modular synths and an ARP AXXE written for International Drone Day 2025, inspired by Harry Sword’s book Monolithic Undertow.
The title — German for “Star Litter” — frames the music as a reflection on beauty and aftermath: a cosmic soundscape that mirrors humanity’s habit of leaving debris in even the most vast and sacred spaces, blending deep-time drone history with an ecological warning.
An exclusive video by Coastal Electronauts' resident video artist @diz_qo is available to watch here and on YouTube.
‘A short message from @diz_qo about the video:
If the Tea Rooms of Mars could sell you your wildest dreams.
If a two dimensional Generation Game was placed on the Voyager disc.
If the Shape of Navigation was a cuddly toy.
If the stars fell one by one.’
Also included here is the original live performance from International Drone Day 2025 where Shape Navigator devised the piece.
