Aurora by Garry Havrillay

Aurora by Garry Havrillay

The third album by Garry Havrillay, released in 5.1 Surround Sound on Blu-Ray1, DTS-CD2 and 5.1 FLAC file download. Also available as a Stereo download (multiple formats).

Electronic/deep ambient/glitch music.  Release date: 22 Oct 2018

For fans of Brian Eno, Jon Hassell or modern day electronica musicians such as Tiësto, Robert Rich and Thom Brennan; one should find much comfort in Havrillay’s music. His compositions are all well executed and absolutely make for a fantastic aural treat.

1.  Atrophy   Havrillay   dur: 4.00
Keyboard & percussion synthesisers, zither, guitar, hand drum and effects.
Music composed for the short hybrid-animation video "Atrophy" (2017), a collaboration between artist Annemarie Szeleczky and Garry Havrillay. The video uses handmade, computer & live performance animation, and depicts a variety of plastic waste such as bags, netting, synthetic ropes and other materials that we discard and how we slowly drown in it. Watch an excerpt of Atrophy. Completed in July 2017 and previously unreleased.
2.  Fragments of Memory   Havrillay   dur: 9.38
Electronic keyboards and processed wild sounds.
A reworking of the first section of 'Four Cycles for an Organic Loungeroom'. The original extended version of this piece was part of the installation and exhibition "Northern Dreaming", sculpture and functional art in mixed media by Lawrie Havrillay (Distelfink Gallery, Hawthorn, Melbourne, August 1994). The full 45 minute piece was intentionally structured for continuous loop replay in a seamless cycle of four sections, to weave in and out of the general ambience of the gallery. This version previously unreleased. Completed in Aug 2016.
3.  Aurora   Havrillay   dur: 13.40
Garry plays synthesizers, guitar and zither. Natural VLF Radio recordings by Stephen P. McGreevy (Public CC)
This piece employs some of the 'natural' radio recordings of Stephen P. McGreevy as foundation material. These recordings, made well away from the influence of human-generated electrical activity, document the effect of ionised particles hitting the earth's magnetosphere, normally manifest at high latitudes as visible aurora, but captured as sound by Stephen at low radio frequencies. His recordings reveal the "music" of solar particles in a variety of wavering and swooping tones, whistles and crackles. Garry has arranged parts of these recordings, sometimes heavily gating them to draw out the more tonal elements and minimise background noise. Overlaid on this sonic landscape, are mimicking sliding and percussive tones from zither and guitar, with pulsing electronic arpeggios. Completed in Oct 2018 and previously unreleased. Watch the video for Aurora.
4.  A Captivating Sky (with lingering guitar clouds)   Havrillay   dur: 15.31
Synthesised self-generating bells, zither, acoustic and electric guitar.
A mesmerising complex loopscape of deep ambience. Completed in May 2013.

Garry Havrillay - keyboard and percussion synthesizers, zither, acoustic and electric guitars, hand drum, wild sound and effects.
