Majeure

Ambient Electronic Music Project

Majeure is the solo project of A.E. Paterra, best known as the drummer of the Pittsburgh-based space rock duo Zombi. Majeure's music is characterized by a blend of electronic, ambient, and progressive rock elements, often featuring expansive synthesizer landscapes and driving rhythmic components reminiscent of 1970s prog-rock and contemporary electronic music. Paterra's work as Majeure has been well-received within the ambient and instrumental music communities, with releases such as "Timespan," "Solar Maximum," and "Termination Shock" showcasing his ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that are both cerebral and emotive. His compositions typically exhibit a cinematic quality, drawing listeners into vast sonic territories that reflect his interest in science fiction and cosmic themes.
