Hello and welcome to this future, you future diggers of space music! 

So what have we the band/duo known as Astro Al been up to in 2025? Well here is some of what is going on in the Astro Al universe. 

 

We were interviewed by one of our favourite humans
Jerry Kranitz.

Check it out.


Astro Al's first new album of 2025 is
Die Unceremoniously   

 A spoken word howling into the wind affair mostly recorded live at Maudslay State Park. It's a trip into a beatnik's beaten typewriter filled with the venom of a demon. All new, all weird. Tim Mungenast & Astro Al have released, Rust 4 The Art & Science of Rust.

 

We have done more livestream jams with Neurodivergent you can watch the latest one here. Neurodivergent is an ensemble put together by the mighty David Peck. DNA Girl and Count Robot are happy to be a part of this group. Come listen/watch our strange improv inane insane stuff. 

 

 DNA Girl is in a book! Years ago DNA Girl played on a Spirits Burning album
Behold the Action Man 

Recently she had some of her comments about the experience printed in a book called One of The Spirits Burning. If you buy it here you get a cd! 

 

Let us not forget some other releases from 2024 that we would like to plug here. 

Amplissima - Iron Bird
An album recorded in a strange house in the dark woods. This album is crawling with chaos, silliness, and a cavalcade of fun! Amplissima is Tim Mungenast, Eric Dahlman, DNA Girl & Count Robot as one weird band. 

Static Apparitions
Echoes From Another Place

The third Static Apparitions album. Static Apparitions is DNA Girl & Count Robot performing strange audio collage music under another name. Dig the sounds of non-music within music.  

Tim Mugenast & Astro Al:
Sonic Ritual: Ode to a Bridge (NYE) 

 
Strange tunes and experimental jams. Half recorded at Echo Bridge in Newton MA and half recorded at Robotzilla Studios. Spoken word weirdness, instrumental soundscapes, and a string of silly sounds all await you on this cosmic audio voyage featuring guitar god Tim Mungenast & way out weirdos Astro Al.  

Amplissima: Fields Converge
with special guest Vanessa LeFevre 


The third Amplissima album. This one has guest star Vanessa LeFevre jamming away with the Amplissima band (Eric Dahlman, Tim Mungenast, & the Astro Al crew under other names). This has to be one of the most wild out there things we've ever done. Check out the title track which will take you on a train trip through the iron curtain of sounds. 

 

Vanessa LeFevre & Astro Al:
Road to the Sky 

 
The first full length collaboration of musical madcap madness with Vanessa LeFevre & Astro Al. Hear strange sounds of outer and inner space as you are swept on an audio drive from the Earth to the sky!

 

Astro Al Live at Sonic Rock Solstice 2022

Astro Al live (no overdubs) at the Sonic Rock Festival in Bomsgrove UK.
What an amazing time we had. Astro Al played two sets (and we guested with Dr. Hasbeen!). This recording is cobbled together featuring the best parts of of both of our sets with no repeat songs!

 

Static Apparitions: Desert Wind 

  This is a full length (40-ish minutes) two track album. The first track is a live over dub free recording of Static Apparitions live at the 2023 Wonder Valley Experimental Music Festival in 29 Palms CA. The second track is a total re-mix, re-creation of the first song with layers of fresh recordings.
