Snap Scene: Starset – Max Watt’s House of Music, 12th August 2017

August 15, 2017 Mary Boukouvalas

STARSET’S musical vision is only understood by entering the psyche of founding member and multi instrumental vocalist, Dustin Bates. Bates – a graduate with a Masters degree in electrical engineering, who taught at the international space university in France and conducted research for the US Air Force – has combined his passion of science and music to create a musical beast.

STARSET’S debut album, Transmissions, and accompanying graphic novel ‘The Prox Transmissions’ established the fictional back story of planet Prox, a future haven from a dying earth. The album went on to sell over 250,000 albums. Since then STARSET have dedicated themselves to understanding how various technologies might affect our lives politically, socially, and economically.
