Luke Elliott mangrupakeun musisi, komposer, jeung synthesist anu dilakukeun di Amsterdams, Inggris. On Every Somewhere, debutan AKP Recordings anu datangna, Elliott ngagunakeun sampling jeung re-sampling, modular jeung analog synthesizers pikeun ngembangkeun dunya impian anu lumangsung tur effervescent.

Dina perjalanan balik ka Inggris dina 2023, Elliott ngalakukeun hiji runtuyan rekaman lapangan, ngabalukarkeun perhatian husus kana alam inescapable of sound made by man. "The crossover between artificial sound and nature," Elliott nyebutkeun, jadi tema sentral, subjek pikeun pertimbangan husus, lamun ku "nganggur kana suara jalma ngobrol di samping telepon burung jeung breezes" atawa ku ngagabungkeun rekaman hiji teman tina organ laut of Zadar, hiji alat seni darat skala badag nu maénkeun musik ngaliwatan gelombang laut kaluar ngaliwatan tabungna.</pfseg>

Meskipun Every Somewhere téh utamana serene, Elliott nganggap eta "a kick in the ass." Interaksi antara manusa jeung dunya alam panggedéna anu dicampur kana tapestries ambience nu bakal ngobrol ka fans of Dustin Wong, Joanna Brouk, atawa Tim Hecker's mellower side. Tapi di handap ieu mangrupakeun kekhawatiran ngeunaan cara nu energi dipindahkeun - - atawa kontaminasi. Elliott naék kana pendekatan postcolonial, a fascination jeung konsep tina pertukaran Columbian, jeung warisan destruktif tina kolonialisme.  

But the aesthetic serenity, perhaps, emerges from a central optimism. In creating Every Somewhere, Elliott says, “I imagined a new planet, safe for everyone, unbound from the human societal structures that permitted how we live in our world today.” It is an exploration of what Elliott calls a “Pre-Death Cosmosis, in which we do not have to wait until death to achieve connection of unity with the cosmos. It is not a distant dream but a present reality, waiting to be embraced.”

Voyaging patiently and thoughtfully between organic and digital textures, Every Somewhere vividly evokes a sense of wonder and an immutable freedom to imagine. These qualities are the soul of this music, sharing something profound in common with the work of Pauline Anna Strom.

Luke Elliott’s greatest strength is his ability to imagine. And Every Somewhere is indeed the sound of an artist imagining, dreaming of, and focusing on an alien world which could be our own.
