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.

Green Anthelion is a summation of so many diverse sound sources, location recordings and captured events. Strange experiments such as recording piezoelectric microphone feedback through a car stereo system while driving, melt into compound field recordings of lawnmowers, public parks, grassy play dates in sunny suburban neighborhoods, swingsets and open studio windows. The somewhat signature element of Anthelion recordings - the noted presence of windchimes - recurs here, albeit beneath a haze of ring modulated speech and psychedelic arrays of outdoor sounds. Green Anthelion is an attempt at representing the sound of Spring rebirth, overgrowth, blooming. A blind and naive renewal of life from the soggy leaf debris of Autumn's death, and a deep listening experience suited to both headphones and open-air speaker configurations, especially those with sub-bass output range. A green sonic bath, a Stravinskian rain summoning ritual to drive away the Winter.
