about

This second release from Fictions and Poetics continues the explorations begun on Our Last Days but develops into new creative realms. A pinnacle of this release is the almost 18 minute deeply engaging, subtle and restrained title track Anatomy of Melancholy.

However, words are a poor replacement for the actual music, so please do have a listen.

All instruments and compositions by Anthony Paul Kerby (APK).

.........................................................................

Anthony also releases various styles of inventive ambient electronica on the DataObscura label, recording as The Circular Ruins, Lammergeyer, and Nunc Stans.

about

Fictions and Poetics

A more varied and experimental, ambient project by APK (DataObscura label, The Circular Ruins, Nunc Stans ...) And yes, I think of this as a very special collection of sounds and music. Always musical.

An Unknown Season
by The Winterhouse

supported by 18 fans who also own “Anatomy of Melancholy”

Beautiful tension and dynamics. Calming you, haunting you, atmospheric trails ascending and descending, rolling like waves found on an abandoned canvas. Fleeting moments and fragments like a ghost fading away into the distance, captured on old film reels that replay over & over in a long empty but lushly decorated room in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous. The Itzamna Collective

Cloak of Summer
by Robert Davies

supported by 17 fans who also own “Anatomy of Melancholy”

With Cloak of Summer, Robert Davies delivers yet another beauty of an album.. A summery masterpiece in my opinion.. Just within seconds of the first track you know it’s Davies, creating that familiar hazy, sizzling drone/(electric) piano-vibe with the beautiful fieldrecordings full of buzzing insects and other life in the great outdoors.. But again, this is different. Just like every album has it’s unique atmosphere.. I sense rather mystique, sort of ‘darker’ layers underneath. That doesn’t mean the tracks are less bright or ‘summery’ but I just hear some different layers and effects (sometimes even somewhat ‘spacy’..). Then from the track Of Hawthorn and Broom on we’re getting in my absolute favorite atmosphere: the sultry hazy summer, where I can smell the trees, the dry pine-needles and where nature is full of life.. No matter if you own other Davies-albums or none: check out this amazing, stunning album!! Summer’s here again.. Berkdrums
