There, he engaged with the people and places that make the Far South one of the most unique environments on Earth. Under his real name (writer Sean Williams), he responded in words to the intense emotional, physical and spiritual experiences gained there.\u00a0<br \/>\n<BR>With\u00a0<strong>Hyperaurea<\/strong>\u00a0he reaches beyond words to expand on those accounts. Using ambient sounds \u2013 piano, drones, and textures evoking weather and human activities \u2013 theAdelaidean evokes the timeless, dreamlike nature of life and death on the ice.<br \/>\n<BR>Across almost four hours,\u00a0<strong>Hyperaurea<\/strong>\u00a0charts a course through the ice, sky, water, weather and rock of a precious and hostile landscape that few people ever visit. Antarctica is a vast source of creativity, where the visual palette is naturally limited to whites, blacks and blues: colours that this musical tribute evokes through a similarly spare assemblage of sound.\u00a0<br \/>\n<BR><IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/assets\/press\/theAdelaidean-Antarctica-1w.jpg width=500><br \/>\n<BR><strong>Hyperaurea<\/strong>\u00a0is broken into three expansive chapters: Echoes of Antarctica,\u00a0Ghosts of the Ice, and Southern Stars. Each musical exploration maps its own response to different aspects of the last frontier on Earth: human and non-human phenomena; a pervasive sense of transience and mortality; and the constellations that unite the continent under a single, infinite sky.<br \/>\n<BR>At times warm and human, at other times angular and alien,\u00a0<strong>Hyperaurea<\/strong>\u00a0responds: through pulsing, layered chords to slow seasonal change in a land where there are no trees or flowers; to the confines of an outpost surrounded by vast tracks of nature rarely seen by human eyes by subtle inversions and reversals in pitch and tone; to rhythms of station life that can be thrown at any moment into chaos by weather; to the extremes of endless day and endless night swept by freezing winds over ice that never melts; and to the haunted memories of those who came before. Half-glimpsed melodies and motifs emerge from and fade back into harmonies and soundscapes that are themselves elusive, creating a lingering account of theAdelaidean\u2019s voyage through a land that exists in a precarious relationship with people\u2014who have walked its changing vistas for barely a century and even from afar, through global climate change, threaten its existence.\u00a0<br \/>\n<BR>As explained in more detail in the accompanying 23-page booklet, which includes photos taken during theAdelaidean\u2019s expedition, the word \u201chyper-aurea\u201d means \u201cbeyond south\u201d, hinting at spaces over the lip of the conventional world. This is the soundtrack of theAdelaidean\u2019s exploration of those spaces.<br \/>\n<BR>Artist Bio<br \/>\n<BR>For forty years, as theAdelaidean and under his own name, bestselling author Sean Williams has undertaken deeply personal aural explorations that, following the great spiral of life, draw heavily on sources and techniques that inspired him in his youth. Alongside his 10 albums for Projekt Records, he composed original music for the multi-artform dance work <em>B\u00e1rbaros<\/em> which debuted in 2023 as part of the Adelaide Festival Centre\u2019s 50th anniversary program. <\/p>\n<p><BR>Cover art: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flinders.edu.au\/people\/katie.cavanagh\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Katie Cavanagh<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: April 28 2023<\/h3>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00273%2F&t=theAdelaidean%3A+Hyperaurea+%E2%80%93+Echoes+of+Antarctica+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00273%2F&text=theAdelaidean%3A+Hyperaurea+%E2%80%93+Echoes+of+Antarctica+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00273%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00273.jpg&description=+%0D%0A++%0D%0A%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00273%2F&title=theAdelaidean%3A+Hyperaurea+%E2%80%93+Echoes+of+Antarctica+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/hyperaurea TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[50,556,149,831],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-26941","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-digital","product_cat-drone","product_cat-theadelaidean","pa_artist-theadelaidean","pa_format-digital","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-924","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/26941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=26941"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=26941"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=26941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
