Hypoleuca fuses poly-temporal drum patterns, live synthesiser & the rare sound computer Kyma to create a unique listening experience somewhere between psychoacoustic experiment & complex post-dubstep.
Gentle rhythmic patterns intertwine around modal/melodic & textural material. Percussive elements provide a stasis—a grounding-while the listener is led through a shifting procession of audio scenes: some birdlike, some watery, some industrial.
Combining manifold Pateras’ histories as avant-garde composer, electronic improviser, pianist & producer, this piece proposes an uncommon synthesis of ideas and styles.
Anthony Pateras is the composer of 90+ musical works, performing hundreds of concerts in Europe, Australasia & the USA over the last 25 years.
Uncommonly spanning classical, improvisational, experimental rock & underground electronic genres, he’s released 50+ albums on labels such as Tzadik, Editions Mego & Shelter Press, while soundtracking films screened at festivals such as Cannes, Rotterdam & Sundance.
He’s also collaborated with avant-metal icons (Mike Patton, Stephen O’Malley), distinguished writers (Sylvère Lotringer, Christos Tsiolkas), top-tier orchestras (LA Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Australian Chamber Orchestra) & contributed sound work to exhibitions at Martin-Gropius-Bau, SFMOMA, Haus Konstruktiv & Centre Pompidou.
