A great piece of experimental electronics

Nice and groovy cool and jazzy song and that art work is nuts!

This will be my first full album that I plan to release widely to other platforms. It has been a couple of years since I've put out an LP or EP. After holding off for a while I feel I've finally reached a critical mass of recent songs that fit together into a cohesive final product here. If you've been following me and keeping up with my semi-weekly song releases then everything here will sound pretty familiar, but it was a fun exercise to construct the flow how this all fits together.

Listen now on SoundCloud/BandCamp... out soon on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.!

Earth Anthem

This is another track that started with a quirky volca drum beat. This time most of the melodic layers were made with Korg Module, and virtual synths from Moog including the Model 15 and the Model D. I also used a variety of other soft synths and a little bit of the Minilogue XD.

Lighter than Air

I usually don't sit on unreleased tracks... but this one started last Winter as a proposed collaboration that never came together. After giving it another listen recently, it resonated with me as an especially good track to put out during the week of the Summer Solstice! This is my favorite time of year and I'm finding there is something really nostalgic about this one. Once again the minilogue xd is heavily featured.

Summer Skies

This is my first track working with my new hardware synth, the Arturia Microfreak! It's my second major synth purchase, and it has lots of interesting routing capabilities(a bit of a semi-modular design based around a digital matrix system). I know I'm barely scratching the surface with it on this track, which also features the trusty minilogue xd and lots of vst instruments such as the Animoog Z and the Arp Odyssey.

Ocean Currents

I'm getting deeper into sound design with the new synth, the arturia microfreak! ... had fun with this one layering multiple patches on top of one another. I also used the korg minilogue xd and a handful of korg soft synths.

After GrevusAnjl recommended it, I'm also experimenting a ton with AI-generated artwork using the WOMBO dream app which I used to produce the cover art on this track.

As always, thanks for listening!

Finally working the Volca Drum back into the mix after not having used it for a little while. I like the lofi effect it gives the drum beat. With this track I leaned a little heavier into the Vital VST I've been experimenting with, also used the old minilogue and microfreak. Thanks for listening!

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

Burnt Acacia/Ninetails

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:
THE PASSlNG

the day slopes
down the hill
his residence rests on

the clouds in his gaze
match the clouds in the sky
as the winds gently shape them

he has a slow meal
within shifting structures
of people who rush by

stopped at a corner
he sees squatters evicted
from ivory lodgings

matching his steps
to the patterns of stones
he rewrites the pavement

past the outskirts of town
he watches a beetle
scuttle along a fencepost

he walks past the tree
he has been dreaming of
for ten years in a row now

in liquified air
this moment freezes
unseeing his life

The Passing--Tragic Exuberance--  Jo Richter's Poetry(Sonlc Structures and Silent Stretches)
