about

Following the retrieval of the long-lost Grey Anthelion album, as well as the reinstating of the 2008 Anthelion sessions (White / Night / Red / Black), I came to realize that there was still much left to say using this sound-assembly approach I conceived over a decade ago. Anthelion recordings are one of many attempts to distill elemental and atmospheric sound into something vaguely musical, or at the very least tonal, while also rendering any potential instrumental voices down to texture and faux-environmental surroundings. So, with the advent of the 2019 Spring season, I felt it appropriate to renew, revise and reiterate with Anthelion once (or actually twice) more.

Blue Anthelion was considered as a softer, sunnier counterpart to Green Anthelion, which is more forestial, and even dusky in parts. Dozens of field recordings are layered carefully and deliberately to create a swirling humid mass of Spring atmosphere, while a smeared lens goes in and out of focus on reflected sunlight across the surface of a river. Thunderstorms transfigured into bit-reduced sub bass fog, swimming pools spattered through panned delays like dub chords, rainfall washing over Carolinian and Ohioan rooftops, windchimes swaying in the gust of April showers. A wide stereo field of high and low frequencies operating as psychedelic weather. The temperature, texture and pressure changes of Springtime, routed to 20+ output channels and conveyed across a digital spiral.
