ELUSION HAS ARRIVED!
|
The new Chrystal Für album Elusion is finally available worldwide! Digitally through Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc...and there is also a beautiful matte 4 panel eco-wallet CD available through Bandcamp, if you are old-school. To celebrate we've just released a music video filmed in Guanajuato, Mexico which was the birthplace of Chrystal Für 3 years ago.
"Fading from calm ripples of honeydew skin to darkness, this film encapsulates the soul of the album. An oasis of tranquillity which leaves you longing for more of Chrystal Für’s auditory tonic to alleviate the pressures of the world."
|
I'm extremely excited to share the new song "I'm Losing You". The accompanying video is very personal for me as it features my daughter and much of the footage was shot in Iceland...a trip that had a big influence on this album. It explores themes of loss, change, communication, and progress: The changing of a daughter from child to young woman, humanity's effects on the environment, communication (or lack thereof) in the modern age, and what we gain or lose through human and technological evolution.
|
"If you listen closely, you can hear the many influences of the Icelandic present classical music scene, including that of the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, who, through his music, we will never truly lose...I think you’re going to love this record, folks! Highly recommended!"

I was asked by Cast the Dice to put together a mixtape of music that influenced my upcoming album Elusion. I created a loose musical timeline that dips into important early musical moments including being freaked out in the basement as a toddler listening to "Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John and Black Sabbath albums, to contemporary artists that constantly inspire me like
Jóhann Jóhannsson, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, and Max Richter. Join me for an hour musical journey... "His utterly engrossing and profoundly beautiful new album, Elusion, arrives at the tail end of the month and we’re thrilled to have him curate this month’s mixtape with a sublime selection, including three tracks from his upcoming album."

I am ecstatic to share with you the world-wide release of the new Chrystal Für/Echo Collective collaboration available today March 26, 2021!! This video gives you just a taste of the almost 11 minute track produced and performed by Echo Collective, whom have contributed their sublime string talents to some of my favorite albums by Stars of the Lid, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Erasure as well as releasing their own albums including a string ensemble reimagining of Radiohead's Amnesiac and a stunning collection of original songs from 2020 called The See Within. I feel blessed to have been fortunate enough to work with them on this epic track from the upcoming Elusion album.

NEW MUSIC IS HERE!
Stationary Travels, one of my all time favorite sources for great new music, has premiered the new Chrystal Für video for "Requiem", the first single from the forthcoming album Elusion.
|
Elusion officially comes out on May 28, 2021, but is now available for pre-sale on Bandcamp and iTunes and through Bandcamp (soon on iTunes as well) you will get "Requiem" and other singles instantly as they are released before the full album becomes available. If you are a Spotify user, I've curated a playlist of traditional, and not-so-traditional, requiems to check out. |
The new Chrystal Für single "Rising Rain" is now officially available through all download and streaming services with 100% of proceeds being donated to Color of Change to help them make the world a more racially equitable place. Watch the official music video here...

"Vibberts creates a piece that despite it’s subtleties embraces depths of darker drones, haunted sounds and delicate melodies all wrapped into one piece. A musical salve for current times." - DRIFTING, ALMOST FALLING
I'm honored to have been asked by TJ Norris of ToneShift to contribute an unreleased Chrystal Für track to the Sound + Solidarity podcast being released July 4. My track is called "Rising Rain" and is a contemplative, moody journey with a touch of hope. I'll be in the company of 29 other experimental composers...all exceptional...who have contributed unreleased material for this important cause! This musical event is to honor the victims of racial violence. Listen to the podcast in the below Mixcloud player and learn more about the project here.
