With a strong influence from the mainstream dance music of the early 90s, the indie dance music of the early 21st century, and 60s rock, Aetherius (a.k.a. Rab Townsend) began at the age of 14 as Dj_StarChild. His interest in both game music and remixes of classical music led him to OverClocked ReMix in early 2001. After several months of involvement with the community, he acquired the tools he'd need to make music, and then started to do so.
This led to the composition and production of two albums' worth of piano driven ambient dance music entitled 'Multi-Coloured Breakfast' and 'Empty Box of Happiness,' the latter of which exposing a more experimental edge.
By 2004, after having changed his alias to "Aetherius," taking plenty of time to improve his skills, and allowing for several changes of influence and style, he composed and produced a third album entitled 'The Inevitability of Pain (and the stupidity of those who don't expect it)' which was a more structured, yet still experimental collection of piano driven ambient songs.
From 2005 to 2006, He worked on his fourth album of original music, which is still tentatively titled "Complete thoughts from a fractured mind." It showcases his affinity for found-sound layering, and guitar experimentation, and a development of his piano style into a more delicate, dreamlike atmosphere. However, the album itself is full of dark overtones and undertones, loosely conceptualized as an "end of days" allegory.
Throughout later 2007, Rab began working on an EP entitled 'FallPast', named for a song written shortly after the completion of the last song on 'Complete Thoughts...', the EP is still a work in progress, despite the incomplete status of 'Complete Thoughts...' itself, and ideas for a new concept album in the future.though, that my music maintains a certain style that is mine. |
