ANAPHORIA "Footpaths and Trade Routes"

LP, ed.250, released NOW on ini.itu

Under the moniker Anaphoria, here is a new album from Kraig Grady, composer and a sound artist, who has been described by David Toop as an Ethnographic Surrealist. Born in California in 1952, now residing in Australia where as a citizen of Anaphoria he is responsible for the Austronesian Outpost of Anaphoria.

Contrasting with his ensemble compositions, this ini.itu LP presents 2 solo compositions inspired by the traditions of Anaphoria and one meta-track assembled from multiple ensemble takes. With tunes strongly reminiscent of gamelan instruments, the album unfurls elegant and refined tracks of hypnotic and nocturnal beauty, rich with soothing and gloomy overtones. This album fills the room with simultaneously austere, restrained and peacefully complex reverberations, suspending the sense of time
