|  |  |  |  |  |  | | | | | | Bio of the Artist | Life can be mysterious, beautiful and often challenging to say the least. Anton’s music documents his journey and exploration of this wonderful thing we call living. Having completed psychology study’s and with a fascination for both eastern and western philosophies Anton’s lyrical content reflects his preoccupation with the intricacies of the mind. Communicating at a deep level with the listener through the use of metaphor Anton’s lyrics both stimulates and challenge. Don’t be fooled though, these tunes don’t wallow in a dark quagmire of despair! Anton’s work resonates of healing and hope. Not all Anton’s material revolves around the “psych” however. The other subject extensively explored by Anton is of course love and listeners will find a healthy splattering of love songs throughout Anton’s catalogue. However even Anton’s love songs are usually still imbedded with deeper meaning and purpose. No opportunity appears to have been missed to explore the depths and richness of life. This is an aspect of Anton’s work which makes it such a fulfilling experience and like a breath of fresh air amongst the oceans of commercial fodder that floods the music market. Anton’s material tends to appeals to the discerning listener who is in search of something with more depth in regard to their listening experience. Of course if all this thinking is not your cup of tea Anton’s music is also full of addictive hooks, an array of musical instruments from traditional to electronic and of course smooth crooning melodies.
Based in Brisbane Australia where he lives with his wife and two children Anton produces all his own material in his home studio, releasing albums under through “BugEye Records”. He plays throughout the East coast of Australia and plays with various line ups from solo to full blown bands. To Anton the real gold in his musical experience lies in the creative process itself and what that facilitates in life.
An aspect that stands out about Anton’s is the amazing diversity and originality of Anton’s catalogue. Anton’s music wanders freely from camp to camp. It encompasses pop, rock, folk and jazz with a uniquely Anton angle fusing it all together. Songs vary from the moody to the highly uplifting but always with a message of hope and a depth that feeds the soul. His music has been compared to Nick Cave, The Dirty Three, Tom Waits, Ben Harper and Pink Floyd but is at the same time often hard to categorize.
“Mountain to Dust” is Anton’s latest offering and marks a maturing and crystallisation of Anton’s style and sound. It is Anton’s third solo released EP. The title relates to the process of mountains turning to dust and is analogous to the passing of time and the impermanence of all things. A folk sound predominates throughout the album largely due to the heavy use of the “Italian mandolin” with strong elements of pop and rock giving it a contemporary air and feel. A beautiful album with a raw edge it combines delicate love songs with caressing violins, with stomping ballads featuring distorted harmonicas, screaming guitars and lyrics alluding to murder. Full of addictive hooks, swooning melodies and lyrics with meaning and purpose, it is truly an album to be treasured.
Hi Anton here. I love music and I love playing music to people because I also love people and without you guys I'd have no purpose for living never mind writing and playing music, so thanks. I really appreciate your support. I hope i can give you something back and you get something positive out of my music.
Cheers Anton | | |
