2004 release from antiopic label co-head james elliot under the atelia moniker. huge bursts of noisy/granulated melodic/tonal digital-sound; as informed by mego/fennesz as the grand scope of late 60s minimalism and studio-as-instrument mythos of faust, this heat, et.al.

as youth trends in music divert us farther and farther away from forward progression in digital sound-construction, the full-frequency orchestrations of the solo bedroom computer music producer still capture a perfect utopian vision very accurately. a massive record, definitely one of the more powerful experimental computer music albums i’ve heard in some time.

antiopic press release...

sadek bazaraa: guitar, synth, electronic drums
bryan collins: sampler
david daniell: guitar, baritone guitar, synth, additional production on production and poverty
jon philpot: synth
need windham: electric piano, additional production on production and poverty

all tracks composed by james elliot, except f.t.p. composed by james elliot and david daniell. recorded in atlanta, ga, lexington, ky, and brooklyn, ny, 2003 - 2004. assembled at full faith and credit, brooklyn, ny, 2004.

“structurally founded on conscious allusions to "pop", "ambient", "electronica", but imbued with a high degree of critical distance, ateleia music destabilizes classic notions of form and process in pursuit of a unique idea of song. subtle melodies emerge snakelike from deep within floods of shimmering multicolored static; densely layered strata of interference rupture into moments of tonal clarity, only to be subsumed into the next span of shifting sound. incorporating source material from a host of collaborators, skewed and reconfigured into a framework of constantly changing and decisive movement, the debut album from ateleia (james elliott) reveals a developed sense of composition and pacing across a range of approaches and textures. all eight of these tracks focus on elements of structure—and the decay of structure—with both the formed and the formless vying for space. the resulting sound is dense, angular and hypnotic, like watching red thread slowly twitch in the pulse of the tide.”

ateleia “nightly” compact disc single

in inner air (3:08)
threaded (7:36)
sphere and locked (8:12)
nightly (6:57)

table of the elements press release...

james elliott is rapidly emerging as one of the most versatile voices in contemporary music. he collaborates with benjamin curtis (ex-secret machines); his band school of seven bells is making a big splash in the rock realm (david bowie recently invited them to perform at his high line festival in new york); and as co-founder of the acclaimed antiopic label, he has produced works by avant heavy-hitters including alvin lucier.

now he presents nightly, the latest work from his solo project, ateleia. in it, elliott artfully evokes the humid krautrock of popol vuh within a whirlpool of lush minimalism, nimble electronica and digital psychedelia. nightly is a voyage up a primeval river of sound within a steaming jungle of invisible detail- where the ultimate destination is forever out of reach.

school of seven bells “face to face on high places” long playing record

limb by limb (4:28)
face to face on high places (8:58)
s.ada.licht (2:56)

table of the elements press release...

from the breathing clouds of the living mountain emerge school of seven bells and their dazzling 12-inch debut, face to face on high places.

benjamin curtis, formerly of secret machines, leads the esoteric cabal. heliospheric guitar invocations with that band garnered him considerable distinction, as have collaborations with michael rother of neu!/kraftwerk. alternately, the rhythm rises from the underground; bassist james elilott records ambient electronica as the critically acclaimed ateleia, while the guitar armies of minimalist legend rhys chatham march to drummer joe stickney's beat. at the center are twin sisters alejandra and claudia deheza. their achievements with on! air! library! are substantial; multi-instrumentalist claudia has also worked extensively with prefuse 73 and a cloud mireya. together, their celestial vocal arrangements and lush, transcendental songsmithing cast the irresistibly intense psychomagical spell that illuminates school of seven bells.

face to face on high places is a dizzying whorl -- from the pounding ecstasies of the title track, to the mystic lyricism and lucid dreamscaping of "s.ada.licht" and the mesmeric groove of "limb by limb." luminous voices beckon from the far side of a mirage; whispered electronic infernos are swept away by raging torrents of percussion.

submit to school of seven bells, then ascend atop a thousand cyclones to a plain of infinite bliss.

clear, laser-etched 12-inch ep; beautifully packaged with metallic inks; limited-edition, vinyl-only release

ateleia / benjamin curtis “baghdad batterie (clear vinyl)” one-sided long playing record

baghdad batterie (13:52)

may 2008 release ; the second in the 2008 guitar series, featuring james “ateleia” elliott & benjamin curtis’ heavily processed guitars over a wall of distorted / crunked casio beats ... fans of mid-90s too-pure spec (seefeel, specifically - this could almost be a “pure/impure” out-take ...) take note ...

table of the elements press release...

ateleia and benjamin curtis
baghdad batterie

table of the elements celebrate its 15th anniversary with the w3cond disk in its guitar series vols. 3 & 4, a 12xlp romp of deviant fretnoise by some of experimental music’s most prominent players, including christian fennesz, thurston moore, and sunn o)))’s stephen o’malley.

on baghdad batterie, ateleia and benjamin curtis fuse splendidly, as perfectly synchronized audio alchemists, and when they dip their axes in a vat of liquid electronica, the transmutation is complete: thick, glistening beats throb and undulate, without a tell-tale twang in sight. baghdad batterie is a fabulous piece of laptop psychedelia, and certain to delight fans of curtis and elliott’s previous collaboration, the exhilarating school of seven bells ep, face to face on high places.

the packaging of this vinyl-only release is similarly spectacular. it’s a one-sided, 12-inch lp, pressed on clear vinyl; the reverse is laser etched with an original illustration by acclaimed uk artist savage pencil, whose credits include album art for the fall, big black, and sonic youth. it’s a limited-edition pressing, so get it while you can – disks from the label’s original guitar series in 1993/1994 are now some of collectorville’s must coveted treasures.

xeric (usa) #xer 110 cd

ateleia “formal sleep” compact disc

of isthmus (8:06)
salt horse sculpture (9:30)
formal barrier (5:57)
brine coming to rest (9:28)
a doubtful shore (5:49)
bridget riley (9:10)

january 2007 release from james elliott aka ateleia. i raved about james’ last disc on his antiopic label; this one raises the bar with a sweet mix of glossy digital drones and punctuating regular rhythms.

just the kind of swooping, glacial electronics that we all swooned over @ the turn of the century, updated to modern spec. features contributions from david daniell, david grubbs, jon philpot, and sadek bazaraa.

between this disc, david daniell’s recent solo outing “coastal”, and keenan lawler’s “music for the bluegrass states”, xeric is fast becoming one of my favorite contemporary-music labels...

xeric press release...

ateleia formal sleep

james elliott: bass guitar, guitar, synthesizer, computer
sadek bazaraa: guitar on bridget riley
david daniell: cymbals on a doubtful shore
david grubbs: harmonium on formal barrier
jon philpot: melodica on bridget riley

ateleia is brooklyn resident james elliott. his music combines crystalline pulse with submerged aquatic drones and subtle ghost melodies. it's not so much oceanic as it is tide pool - the churn of the tidal impulse captured in miniature and crawling with activity. evoking the grand echo of my bloody valentine and the long standing tradition of psychedelic minimalism, but informed by contemporary electronic music, formal sleep is truly immersive. featuring contributions by david grubbs (gastr del sol), david daniell (rhys chatham, jonathan kane), jon philpot (presocratics, bear in heaven) and sadek bazaraa.

impala eardrums a radium sampler

for fifteen years, table of the elements has been the preeminent source of avant audio, championing minimal, improvised, and outsider musics of various spots and stripes. now, as its influence radiates outward, the label presents radium, its “rock” imprint, showcased here with impala eardrums, a radium sampler.

while minimalist legend rhys chatham leads the way with a delightful unreleased piece from his mid-80s archives, most of the other contributors are younger folks, from a new generation of performers. it’s a diverse bunch, ranging from the raw americana of megafaun and jonathan kane, to the humid, pulsating krautrock of ateleia and the spectral songcraft of paul duncan. neptune serves up its version of home-forged proto-clangor, while collections of colonies of bees and school of seven bells pour forth in glistening, shimmering waves.

together, these eight tracks — all previously unreleased — have one thing in common: a resolute will to march headlong into the untamed brambles and briar patches of 21st-century sound.
