Jupiter is a cloud planet. There is no "surface" to speak of, just gases all the way down, until at the very core it's a super-dense soup of elements under intense gravity (4 billion gigapascals at 36,000ºK). Jupiter is 1,321 times the size of Earth, but because it is made up entirely of gases you'd weigh only 2.4 times your Earth weight if you fell into it.

While you are falling you'll be buffeted by 320 mph winds and intense lightning discharges from the planet's innumerable permanent storms. You will continue to fall until the atmospheric pressure outside equals your body density－a plunge of around 10,000 miles, or a quarter of the distance to the center－at which point the surrounding hydrogen and helium will be compressed to a liquid state, with a helium-neon rain. Send a postcard, it sounds lovely.

If a planet without any hard surfaces could be graphed, it would probably be through sound ("sound maps" or "acoustic cartography"). This album is an attempt to depict what it might sound like to fall through the layers of Jupiter's atmosphere, from the ever-changing, massively-turbulent surface storms to the alien liquid helium seas underneath.

My definition of "music" may be a little broader than most(!), and includes all types of 'organized sound' as well as soundscapes both real and imagined. I often have no idea where the music of Anode comes from... but even so, when this album first emerged it quite literally SCARED me. Frankly it still does, five years later. Designed to be a real "stereo buster," I knew some of the sounds in it were pretty heinous－but I had no idea exactly how heinous until I installed a powered subwoofer flat to 15Hz. The concept of this admittedly-bizarre album had been rattling around in my skull since at least 2003. I guess it took me sixteen years to work up the nerve to get it out.

For this album I must acknowledge the primary influence of "Sonic Seasonings" (1972) by Wendy Carlos, a pioneer in so many ways. Retroactive acknowledgment is also made to Ralph Lundsten's "Nattmara" (1970) as well as Jean-Baptiste Barriere (1976) and Frank Garvey (1978). Unexpected concurrence has come from Dirk 'Mont' Campbell's "Prehistory and Early Man" (1995). Annea Lockwood's sound maps of The Danube and the Hudson River are instructive. And of course the voices in Delineation 3 are a direct nod to Stanley Kubrick's unaccountable fondness for György Ligeti.

This was my first new album since going on BandCamp February 1st, 2019.

Delineations 3 and 4 were played on Gregory Taylor's R.T.Q.E. radio program Sunday August 27th, 2023.
