about

Like mystical music emerging from a deeply satisfying dreamstate, Chronotope Project’s Chronology, both soothes and electrifies the inward senses, enriching the life experience. This 6th release on Spotted Peccary Music by 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: recollected fragments of lives anchored by time. As it reaches its ascendant climax, 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” soars to rapturous heights, 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, coalescing into an experience both magically exciting and fresh.

Despite being released in January, I find this album a perfect vibe for the spring days; a landscape of opportunities associated with the awekening of mother nature and the whole range of fresh perspectives that dwell all around us and open up thanks to that special gleam in Hollan's music. I don't know how he does that. jamezzo

A Walk in the Shadow Garden
by Rudy Adrian

supported by 41 fans who also own “Chronology”

Incredibly beautiful, soothing & wrapped in mysterious atmospherics for the mind to explore in it's own time. A perfect follow up to As Dusk Becomes Night, an amazing achievement considering the exceptional qualities of the previous album. Transcending beyond ambient music into communication directly with the abstracted language of the nervous system. It's music to help the body let go, very unique & from a genuinely special place that is sensitive, mysterious and gliding into serenity. <3 The Itzamna Collective
