about

"For fans of Brian Eno, Jon Hassell or modern day electronica musicians such as Tiësto, Robert Rich and Thom Brennan; one should find much comfort in Havrillay’s music. His compositions are all well executed and absolutely make for a fantastic aural treat." — Wesley Derbyshire, HiRes Edition, 14 May 2020. Read the full review at www.hiresedition.com/review/ambient/garry-havrillay-aurora.html

Garry Havrillay's third solo album includes the soundtrack to an experimental hybrid-animation video, uses the natural radio 'music' of the magnetosphere as foundation sonic material, and explores mesmerising deep ambient loopscapes.

1. Atrophy 4’00"

Music composed for the short hybrid-animation video "Atrophy" (2017), a collaboration between artist Annemarie Szeleczky and Garry Havrillay. The video uses handmade, computer & live performance animation, and depicts a variety of plastic waste such as bags, netting, synthetic ropes and other materials that we discard and how we slowly drown in it.

Watch the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV1TQDxGG3U
Completed in July 2017 and previously unreleased.

2. Fragments of Memory 9’38"

A reworking of the first section of 'Four Cycles for an Organic Loungeroom'. The original version of this piece was part of the installation and exhibition "Northern Dreaming", sculpture and functional art in mixed media by Lawrie Havrillay (Distelfink Gallery, Hawthorn, Melbourne, August 1994). The complete 45 min piece was intentionally structured for continuous loop replay in a seamless cycle of four sections, to weave in and out of the general ambience of the gallery.

'Fragments' completed in Aug 2016, previously unreleased.

3. Aurora 13’40"

This piece employs some of the 'natural' radio recordings of Stephen P. McGreevy as foundation material. These recordings, made well away from the influence of human-generated electrical activity, document the effect of ionised particles hitting the earth's magnetosphere, normally manifest at high latitudes as visible aurora, but captured as sound by Stephen at low radio frequencies. His recordings reveal the "music" of solar particles in a variety of wavering and swooping tones, whistles and crackles.

Garry has arranged parts of these recordings, sometimes heavily gating them to draw out the more tonal elements and minimise background noise. Overlaid on this sonic landscape, are mimicking sliding and percussive tones from zither and guitar, with pulsing electronic arpeggios.

4. A Captivating Sky (with lingering guitar clouds) 15’31"

A mesmerizing complex loopscape of deep ambience.

Completed in May 2013.
