Sleeping Pulse - War

In 2010 Anathema released We’re Here Because We’re Here, the band’s first new album for almost seven years. The album was awarded Classic Rock’s Prog Album of the Year as well as a host of other accolades and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as “definitely among the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.”
The band now return with Weather Systems, their brand new studio album. The album will be available as a limited edition 2 disc set which will come packaged in a deluxe digibook and feature a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album.

Anathema have been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal movement for many years. They began their journey as pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and new ways to express feeling through sound.

Formed in Liverpool in 1990, the band’s sound, and musical vision has continually evolved over the ensuing years while always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music. The line-up is really a collective of two families who were quite simply born to do it. Anathema consists of brothers Vincent, Daniel and Jamie Cavanagh, alongside childhood friends John Douglas and his sister Lee, who is an incredible singer in her own right.

There is a deeper bond in the group that transcends usual band politics, ego, and self-interest. They have a shared vision: to make the most incredible music they possibly can, and it seems, despite the lavish praise heaped on the band for their past work, that they are now taking their work to a whole new level.

Entropic Artist Biography

As an entropic artist, my creative journey explores the delicate balance between chaos and order, harnessing entropy as both medium and message. My work delves deeply into how systems—visual, conceptual, and sonic—transform as randomness and structure interact. 

Artistic Approach

- I draw inspiration from the concept of entropy, embracing chance and unpredictability as core components of my practice.
- Mirroring the scientific principle of entropy, my art investigates themes of transformation, impermanence, and the cyclical nature of creation and decay.
- This approach allows each project to become an evolving ecosystem, where the unexpected is not only welcomed but actively integrated into the aesthetic and conceptual outcome.

Exploration of Entropic Generative Music

My research and creative output are intrinsically linked to entropic generative music—a field that uses systemic methods to produce ever-changing and unique musical experiences.

Generative music refers to compositions created by systems that follow explicit rules to produce virtually endless variations, made popular by artists such as Brian Eno and Iannis Xenakis.

- Rather than composing note by note, I construct frameworks governed by mathematical rules. These frameworks define the potential behaviors, boundaries, and interactions of musical elements, letting the "music create itself" within those confines.
- Such music is neither fully improvised nor traditionally composed; it is an emergent property that evolves as part of a system shaped by constraints and laws, often mathematical, rather than direct artistic decisions[4].

Mathematical Rules and the Role of Entropy

Mathematical rules are at the heart of my sound-based art:

- I design rulesets inspired by principles such as entropy maximization and  constrained randomness.- Models like the Maximum Entropy Model capture statistical dependencies between musical notes, generating sequences that both mirror established musical styles and offer innovative departures—without copying any input directly.
- These models avoid overfitting by prioritizing pairwise interactions and allow user-defined constraints, steering the generative process within mathematical boundaries rather than artistic intuition or machine learning guesswork:
  - For example, the range of melodic intervals can be defined probabilistically, and entropy maximization ensures each sequence is as diverse as possible within these parameters.
  - The result is music that is mathematically entropic yet always controlled by clear structural rules.

Thematic and Conceptual Links

- My artistic process surrenders to the unknown, leveraging randomness (or entropy) not as a threat but as fertile ground for creativity.
- By building generative systems governed by mathematics, I ensure that every creation reflects both disorder and disciplined order—a dance of chaos and rules mirrored in the interplay between entropy and music.

My work stands at the crossroads of art, mathematics, and sound, continually exploring how mathematical rules and the inherent uncertainty of entropy can inspire not just new aesthetics, but new modes of experience and understanding.
