Emily A. Sprague’s Cyano is a synthesiser-based song cycle inspired by an imagined planet where emotional expression and individuality are being rediscovered after generations of enforced conformity. Drawing influence from cyanotypes and the botanical photographs of Anna Atkins, Sprague creates a rich conceptual framework that informs every aspect of the record.
Using only synthesised sounds and introducing vocals into her work for the first time, Sprague crafts music that feels both familiar and otherworldly. The album explores themes of visibility, empathy, transformation and human connection, with melodies and textures suggesting landscapes that exist somewhere between memory and imagination.
Minimal yet deeply evocative, Cyano functions as a transmission from a distant place, mapping emotional and psychological terrain through subtle shifts in tone and atmosphere. It is a thoughtful and immersive work that expands Sprague’s distinctive approach to composition while opening new paths for expression.
