Lyra is DeWalta's fourth large solo project and third full-length solo album following Wander in 2012, llumination in 2014, and Dark Matter in 2017. The album consists of two individually available parts: a double LP (Lyra) with six tracks, as well as a single LP (Lyra Pi (MEANDER 026LP, 2018)) with five synth and ambient works. The ambient part launches a new Meander series, a departure from Meander's well-known dance floor releases. Lyra is by far DeWalta's most extensive and refined project to date. With 11 exclusive songs, a total running time of over 100 minutes (plus a collaboration with long-time friend and Meander co-owner Fabian Geimer-Lorusso aka Jupiter), it marks a new beginning of ambient and score-like modern electronic music works as well as the continuation of his inspired intellectual-emotional approach to dance music. Lyra is a constellation in the northern hemisphere which is highest in the midnight sky in the early summer months. It contains one of the brightest stars in the sky -- Vega. Many of the songs on this album were produced in these warm and gentle months during an inspirational creative time in Portugal. In Greek mythology, Lyra represents the lyre of Orpheus, Apollo's son. Made by Hermes from a tortoise-shell, it was given to Apollo who then passed it along to Orpheus; it is said to be the first music instrument ever made.
