Equal parts the confident work of a craftsman and the emotive release of an artist, Memento solidifies Aphelion's status as a truly passionate and diverse composer. Memento gently leads you into a rich, engrossing world of detail and warmth, far from the disquiet of the everyday. It is music for losing yourself, finding yourself, remembering what was and dreaming of what may be.

The second full-length release by Dutch IDM/Downtempo musician [Aphelion] sees the artist move from the relatively intense 'Memento' to a more fleshed-out and spacious sound with mesmerizing drones, acoustic guitar phrases and intricate melodies.

Through Fog

Dedicated to Icelandic experimental singer Björk, without whom this track would have a different title.

1. By night.
2. Dark or obscure. 

Headphones recommended.

'Nycterine' is exactly the reason why I tend to make music in the dead of night when the city outside has quieted down and I'm as good as the only person in my street that's still awake.

Nycterine

1. to go back or come back again
2. to go back in thought, practice, or condition : revert

Headphones recommended.

PRESENTING: EARLY DAYS. OUT NOW ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS AND BANDCAMP.

When I first started out, I released a ton of music in a relatively small span of years. I've done some stuff independently, and with the help of a few chance encounters I ended up on a label where I made some valuable friends that I still keep in contact with, as well as shape my view of music and the industry I found myself in. I did some physical run of CDs, did some remixing, and came back after a few years with a renewed interest in making music.

The past year has definitely felt like a new chapter in my attempt at being a musician, so I've decided to close the book on the previous chapter with a compilation album of the songs that are my personal favourites. Because I didn't just want to regurgitate old content, I've remastered a few songs to make them sound more up to date, and I've included a few previously unreleased tracks from that chapter to sweeten the deal!

I hope you enjoy the compilation! If you're new to my music, I think it'll serve as a great introduction.

It'll be free to download from SoundCloud and Bandcamp of course and it will be hitting streaming services on the same date, streaming services breaking street date notwithstanding.

Burren

"Evolution comes in steps, and for Echo Grid these steps have gradually led from the abstract and minimal to the rhythmic and atmospheric. Drawing from contemporary electronic music as well as the emerging cyberpunk revival, the project now walks on the line between meditative ambiance and pulsing grooves with emotive vocals."
