Departure from the Northern Wasteland is the debut studio album of electronic music composer Michael Hoenig, released in 1978 by Warner Bros. Records.
Music The music on Departure from the Northern Wasteland is repetitive. The sequencer is used as a "compositional tool," according to AllMusic. The album draws influence from minimalist composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley.
