Those who are ░▐ ▌░ autotelic depend less on external rewards for their ░▐ ▌░ satisfaction, being driven instead simply by purpose or ░▐ ▌░ curiosity. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Such was the genesis of a new project put together by The ░▐ ▌░ OscillationÆs Demian Castellanos and TomagaÆs Tom Relleen. ░▐ ▌░ Started purely as an exploratory audial voyage with no ░▐ ▌░ expectations, no boundaries and no context. AutoteliaÆs sound ░▐ ▌░ - as chronicled on æ1Æ, their debut release for Rocket ░▐ ▌░ Recordings - evolved purely of its own volition, as its ░▐ ▌░ makers were happy to allow their own chemistry and interplay ░▐ ▌░ to take its course. This zen-like simplicity of approach has ░▐ ▌░ been more than rewarded, as the impulses and intentions ░▐ ▌░ blossomed into meditative extrapolations both sonically rich ░▐ ▌░ and spiritually captivating (bewitching). ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ôThis project was started as an opportunity to play more ░▐ ▌░ freely, with less of the process, consideration and ░▐ ▌░ production we both associated with our main projectsö relates ░▐ ▌░ Tom. Yet although all the tracks on æ1Æ follow similar neural ░▐ ▌░ pathways to their destination, thereÆs in fact a ten year gap ░▐ ▌░ between the guitar-scorched heat-haze of æThinking Makes It ░▐ ▌░ SoÆ and the extra-terrestrial soundscape of æStorm At ░▐ ▌░ TucanaeÆ. The former track was recorded ôcompletely live - ░▐ ▌░ just bass and guitar and effects - and lots of booze - in a ░▐ ▌░ rehearsal room in Stoke newingtonö says Tom. ôThatÆs totally ░▐ ▌░ where we are at back then. The other tracks are from sessions ░▐ ▌░ in the last two years and obviously we have a load more gear ░▐ ▌░ now, so drum machines, mellotron, vibraphone and various ░▐ ▌░ synths are where we are now, but the emphasis is still on ░▐ ▌░ more textural and less song based ideas, and a shared love of ░▐ ▌░ kosmische, drone and ambient.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Yet although some observers may be able to detect parallels ░▐ ▌░ with the blissful drift of ClusterÆs æIIÆ, the overheated ░▐ ▌░ ampstacks of prime Spacemen 3 or the becalmed modernism of ░▐ ▌░ Eno in these radiant trance states, the core sound of ░▐ ▌░ Autotelia remains in splendid isolation, an unearthly ░▐ ▌░ tapestry of echoes and vibrations channeled direct from the ░▐ ▌░ id and the ether. ôPersonally for me I donÆt think anything ░▐ ▌░ from my personal life or current events were an influence for ░▐ ▌░ Autotelia, unlike The Oscillation which is very intertwined ░▐ ▌░ with my personal dramas, reality and lifeö reckons Demian ░▐ ▌░ ôAutotelia is more been about allowing emotions, feelings and ░▐ ▌░ sonic spaces to do their own thing with a sense of freedom, ░▐ ▌░ and not wanting to impose myself or my ego on them too muchö. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ôThese tracks are pure escapism - zoning out and not worrying ░▐ ▌░ about anythingö adds Tom. ôI think that when playing music ░▐ ▌░ for a completelynew project it can be really liberating since ░▐ ▌░ there is no expectation and no baggage associated with that ░▐ ▌░ you might have already released. the slate is blank. Hence ░▐ ▌░ Autotelia.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Or - as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi himself put it - ôIt is when ░▐ ▌░ we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than ░▐ ▌░ for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what ░▐ ▌░ we were.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Byahuvpkrtieetwbnk7y7xvg2rm
