Driftless Bells

This Anthelion Project collaboration was made using images and field recordings gathered by Adam Nelsen.

Fresh off it’s premiere at Art-a-Whirl 2022, here is “Driftless Bells,” a song I put together using a looped field recording of bells (like wind chimes, but more intense). It’s available on YouTube, but if you like the tune, the mp3 is available for purchase at AnthelionProjects.com/shop.

The field recording and photos were collected by this Anthelion Project’s Co-Operator, Adam Nelsen. Intended as part of a larger project, when that project didn’t come together, I thought the recording was too beautiful not to do something with. This is the result.

My vision for the next phase of Anthelion Projects is more of this: collaborations with artists and non-artists, working in any media or discipline. In this case it was sound and photographs. In the past it’s been voice memos and time-lapse video. Writing, music, sculpture, dance, or any other media can work as well. Have fun, dive deep, whatever feels worth doing.
