Pétra is a new collaborative music project from Brian Allen Simon (aka Anenon) and Chantal Chadwick.

The duo’s debut album ‘Aunis’, released 20th September via Injazero Records, incorporates electronic and acoustic instrumentation which draws the listener into dream-like soundscapes and blends ambient sounds, modern composition, and abstract vibrations.

Primarily written, performed, produced, and recorded on the volcanic island of Nisyros, Greece in late 2018, Pétra means ‘stone, rock’, and the name of the project was inspired by a chance encounter with the photography of Daniel Boudinet as well as the geological formations of Nisyros. With additional work on the album completed in Loire, France and Mexico City, Mexico, the music is a site-specific reaction to all locales and was arranged in a free-form variety of methods with an improvisational energy being the driving force.

Compositions such as the reverberating ‘Aunis’ rely on ethereal sounds and deep repetition while the fluid ‘Landes’ is a weightless moment of sonic beauty and emotional depth.

Elsewhere, the reactionary ‘Fuzz’ and the meditative, hazy sound explorations of ‘Obsidian’ are hauntingly beautiful, while ‘Tavel’ is reminiscent of the melodic repetition of minimalist pioneers like Steve Reich. 

Los Angeles native Brian Allen Simon, aka Anenon, is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who has received critical acclaim for his work from the likes of Pitchfork, The Wire, The Guardian, and more. 

Since his 2012 debut ‘Inner Hue’, Simon has continually and consistently proven his status as an innovator by co-curating an ambient music series at The Museum of Contemporary art in Los Angeles, and releasing critically acclaimed records such as 2016’s ‘Petrol’ and 2018’s ‘Tongue’. An officially sanctioned remix for Ryuichi Sakamoto in 2018 has only cemented this status further.

Chantal Chadwick is a musician, dancer, and founder of Assortment, an agency that supports artists working in photography, motion, and sound with an independent publishing branch for fine art books. 

Prior to founding Assortment, she was co-owner of a small gallery in New York City focusing on emerging contemporary artists. She has been quietly making music under the name Bed for close to a decade, but Pétra will be her first release. She is currently working between Mexico City and Los Angeles.

Injazero #15 - Thursday the 5th of September 2019

Musicians Brian Allen Simon (aka Anenon) and Chantal Chadwick are the minds behind Pétra, a Los Angeles collective merging electronics and acoustic instrumentation. Their name, meaning "stone, rock", is inspired by a chance encounter with a photo by Daniel Boudinet as well as the geological formations of Greek volcanic island Nisyros, the location that their debut album 'Aunis' was wrote, performed recorded in 2018. The album is free-form, the ambient sounds and abstract vibrations driven by improvisation energy.

Outside of their work as a collective Brian is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who co-curates an ambient music series at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, while Chantal is a musician, dancer and founder of Assortment, an agency that supports artists working various creative mediums.

Compiling a mix of some of their current favourite compositions, they ease us through Wednesday with washes of twinkling ambient, leftfield electronica and cinematic soundscapes...

Confessions, secrets and things left unsaid: music as a personal diary
Words Luc Vinogradoff

As AM, Aimée and Marie have been crafting soundscapes and musical identities for brands since 2015. For Tide, they have imagined a soundtrack inspired by the magazine itself, but that also goes beyond it. They talk with us about this musical diary, that adds layers of meaning and emotions to every page. 

The exercise of interpreting themes or images and transforming them into musical sounds and textures is a treacherous one. The palettes are infinite and there is a risk of getting lost while building bridges from one particularly subjective medium to another. Or to simply not have that bridge recognized as a bridge by someone else, who had not imagined the same links and associations that you did. When it works, though, this sonic alchemism can create whole other layers of meanings and emotions. 

Or, as the duo behind AM puts it, it can create “an echo in people’s minds and foster desires”. As music directors, they have been “crafting soundscapes” for brands and artists since 2015, with mixes, playlists and original music. For them, the approach of creating a musical coating for Tide is slightly different than for a fashion show, where it’s more like a 3D soundscape, making a soundtrack for a special occasion that takes place during a short period of time. These 14 tracks, they imagine, “will have a different physical and emotional impact for each listener, that we can’t really control”.

The inspiration came not only from the dual theme on which this issue is built, but also, they say, from its “creative direction and editorial choices: photos, graphic guidelines, topics of the articles and interviews”. What emerges is just about forty minutes of eerie sounds and soothing textures, woven by multiple voices that seem to be telling the same story from different points of view. 
Aimée and Marie wanted to conjure a “musical diary” where the author has to “decide to write everything or leave some things unsaid, maybe by fear of being read”. “We made it very atmospheric with some curious tonalities and changing rhythms. We definitely wanted to make this tension felt in the mix, like something very mysterious and curious, also very feminine because we felt that femininity was really present in this issue”, they explain.

And so it feels almost inevitable that the spoken introduction would be by one of the most spectral, and yet present, feminine TV characters of all time: Laura Palmer. In Twin Peaks, she is the heroine on which the intrigue is built, but that we almost never see. By reading a few pages of her diary, she invites us into her world, just as the mix invites the reader to look more closely at this magazine, words and images echoing in their mind.
