about

The work of Brussels based A.N.S. (Air Near Silence) focusses mainly on contemporary experimental music. The spiritual dimension of the compositions gives the music a meditative character and urge the auditors to think about how to listen in these modern times. The tracks are composed with electronic analog gear treated with tape machines and are often mixed with field recordings.

lyrics

‘Elegy For A Lost Spring’ is made on a ‘Synthi +’, as called by it’s designer. It’s a Synthi A clone made for a Paris based artists a few years ago and acquired by me in March 2020, during the first days the pandemic struck in Western-Europe. It offers several mods : S&H, Trapezoid polarity control, Inverter pins, VC controlled shape on each osc, hi/lo range switchable oscillators, osc sync, customized matrix lay-out, and sounds fantastic + is very sturdy. The instrument is housed in a vintage ‘80’s hardshell Delsey briefcase, exactly the same my father used to go to work.
As soon as I was accustomed to the Synthi interface, I started composing on it and using it in my daily musical workflow. Often I only use a fraction of an instruments capacity to get a very simple, rather minimalistic, meditative result. In the ‘Elegy….’-track I tried to explore the many different function & possibilities of the Synthi +. As most of the time it started with a few ideas that were later totally abandoned and I ended up with something completely different than wat I had initially in mind. Most inspiration comes from sounds I stumble upon and from where I start to improvise and the piece takes form from there.
