Take a further step into the magical world of EtherwoodÕs ÔNeon DustÕ with his brand new ÔNeon Dust In AtmosÕ EP on Hospital Records. Lose yourself amongst immersive spatial audio technologies as a handpicked selection of tracks from his latest album come to life through precision-cut 22-channel Dolby Atmos studio software mixed by Etherwood, with the listenerÕs experience at the heart and soul of the process.
The release will receive a special live showcase on Monday 29th November 2022 at an exclusive West London location where attendees will get to experience a 6-track synchronised visual exploration of both real-world and motion graphic art to accompany a selection of tracks from EtherwoodÕs album in an audiovisual showcase mixed in Dolby Atmos, followed by a guided meditation and Q&A session. In his own words, Òthis LP is much more self explorative, based largely around experiences I had whilst meditating. Most of the album was written in a small beach hut in Cornwall, England. The term Ôneon dustÕ describes the essence of the world I was in whilst making the album.Ó With the film being creatively curated by Cal Bain (Wide Eyed) in collaboration with Etherwood, the visual concept is a further exploration into the meaning behind ÔNeon DustÕ.
ÔDahliaÕ starts off the EP with chilling chord progressions which are perfectly intertwined with EtherwoodÕs signature melodies. The second track ÔLighthouseÕ featuring Zara Kershaw is a liquid ballad laced with soulful vocals and an irresistible amen break granting drum and bass fans a heartwarming sing-along anthem.
On ÔFollow The RiverÕ EtherwoodÕs other musical influences such as indie, folk and alternative pop shine through. Etherwood heads into slower territories with Queensland, Australia based Lily Budiasa who also fronts the ambient-folk band THÕFIKA. The calming yet upbeat ÔAkashaÕ takes us into sonic bliss with pacing synth work and inviting melodies showcasing EtherwoodÕs multi-instrumentalist nature.
Stepping away from drum and bass on ÔWe Shine Amongst The LightsÕ, expect a skippy rock ballad drenched in EtherwoodÕs signature dreamlike harmonies. __Closing the ÔNeon Dust In AtmosÕ EP is the deeper liquid ballad ÔInto OblivionÕ with enchanting ambient soundscapes and harmonious vocals from Etherwood.
