James Elliott a.k.a Ateleia is rapidly emerging as one of the most versatile voices in contemporary music.
He collaborates with Benjamin Curtis (ex-Secret Machines); his band School of Seven Bells is making a big splash in the rock realm (David Bowie recently invited them to perform at his High Line festival in New York); and as co-founder of the acclaimed Antiopic label, he has produced works by avant heavy-hitters including Alvin Lucier.
His music combines crystalline pulse with submerged aquatic drones and subtle ghost melodies. Its not so much oceanic as it is tide pool - the churn of the tidal impulse captured in miniature and crawling with activity. Evoking the grand echo of My Bloody Valentine and the long standing tradition of psychedelic minimalism, but informed by contemporary electronic music.
