Spotted Peccary Releases CHRONOLOGY, Chronotope Project's Alluring Blend of New Music and Remixed Favorites

CHRONOLOGY both soothes and electrifies the inward senses.

CHRONOLOGY by Chronotope Project is the Oregon-based artist's sixth album on Spotted Peccary Music; it is now available in both physical and digital formats.

Every composer hopes that each new work advances beyond the last.”
— Jeffrey Ericson Allen

PORTLAND, OR, USA, September 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Chronology, the sixth release by Chronotope Project on Spotted Peccary Music, is alternately dreamy and mystical, orchestral and complex. Ten generous tracks both soothe and electrify the inner senses, creating an enriching life experience. On this album, Jeffrey Ericson Allen, aka Chronotope Project, illuminates his favorite musical endeavors of the past, reforging them compositionally and sonically, foretelling a future that introduces new works and inspiring directions.

As Chronology unfolds, Chronotope Project’s meticulous and narrative approach to song writing becomes even more apparent and vibrant in fresh light. The opening track “Unwinding the Dream” expands way beyond its original context and textures; classical flourishes ebb and flow around an anchoring sequencer ostinato, until mysterious voices pull the listener back to where the piece began. “Ghost in the Machine,” unreleased from the Gnosis sessions, explores the Cartesian duality of mind and matter through the ethereal croon of the Haken Continuum (mind/ghost) and a 7/8 Euclidean rhythm (matter/machine). Originally recorded as “Awakening,” in 1985, “Arctic Spring” is as spare and majestic as the landscape the title would suggest, where a cello curves like a cool wind through glacial, expansive guitar chords and electronic subtleties. Orchestral closer “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” embraces strings swept aloft by trumpets and timpani. Originally conceived as a ballet, the track follows a Muse as she dances around amassed humanity, brightening their lives with her effervescent song. A violin sings her part in the drama, pirouetting around strings and woodwinds.

“Every composer hopes that each new work advances beyond the last,” reflects Allen, and Chronology is a shining example of this. Past work from previous albums, entirely re-envisioned, validate this evolution of Chronotope Project’s musical expression.

Spotted Peccary Music will livestream Chronology today on its 24/7/365 streaming channel SPMLive.

Mastered by Howard Givens at Spotted Peccary PNW Studios, with creative design by Daniel Pipitone of Spotted Peccary Studios NE.
