Entertainment = Control (CD)

Anthony Pateras, Erkki Veltheim - Entertainment = Control (CD)
Long-range acoustic hallucinations for violin (Anthony Pateras) and piano (Erkki Veltheim).
Exploring spectral techniques throughout extended temporal structures, Pateras & Veltheim physically generate unrelenting harmonic waves to create a singular psycho-harmonic texture, blurring perceptions between two otherwise distinct instruments to create something otherworldly and hypnotic. Includes 24 page booklet with extensive interview.
Anthony Pateras (born 1979) is an Australian-born composer, pianist and electro-acoustic musician active since the late 90s. His music explores electro-acoustic orchestration, auditory hallucination and polytemporality.
