about

This release is a change-up. A return to shorter pieces, a return to (mostly) synthesizer-based pieces. Why? Felt like it, that's all. I was gonna add some more tracks before releasing it, but I kinda lost the scent.

You may have noticed the track "A Passing Phase" weaves in and out of my release "Comfort Noise." That's because it's too good not to reuse.

Regarding the title: Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

about

Anode Seattle, Washington

I've recorded under the name Anode since 1972, in much the same way that Winnie the Pooh lives under the name Sanders.

What I've recorded may not be 'music' to everyone's ears, since it includes "organized sound" and soundscapes, both real and imagined. I make no apologies; my skill set is limited.

My authentic soundscapes can be found over here:

With Alice
by Moray Newlands

The interweaving of Real Life with gentle electronic music here is masterful. By marrying the in-studio with the out-of-studio, a hybrid is created which is both more universal and more personal. Anode
