Sunday again, it’s still winter and we have been out catching bands for the last two nights. Nothing like this music though.

Chris Christou is the man behind Etherfysh, a project through which he explores a dreamy, downtempo form of electronic music encompassing genres from New Age to ambient and hints of jazz. The track Sanctuary comes from his 2004 album “A Box of Fish”

“Electronic music has always been a fascination for me,” says Christou. “As a kid, my best friend’s mother was always playing Tangerine Dream, so early exposure to albums like Zeit, Phaedra, and Stratosphere had an irrevocable effect.”

And it shows, there is some subtle craft in this track, it unfolds very slowly and you will find your mind conjuring images as it plays with your head, Nice swirling textures and snatches of melody that repeat and fade. I like this one a lot.

After “A Box of Fish” For Etherfysh, the next year saw collaborations with with Dutch EM artist Gert Emmens, as well as the release of Stasis, a work of hypnotic melodies wrapped around subtle, silvery beats. As well as the short samples There are further samples of his work at his website there are some album length pieces available at magnatune. Have a listen, it’s nice stuff.
