Anderhill: The Best of Maine

Between my stint working for the USPS and my upcoming move to Tennessee for a new academic position, I haven’t been able to compose much electronic music. I hope to get one more Andehill EP or album completed this year. But if I don’t, here’s the best of Anderhill from Maine.

Absence

Absence was the first music I composed after moving to Maine in late 2022. The five tracks are ambient, sometimes dark and discordant, and at other times light and airy. The music reflects my mood after a long journey.

The Mandolin, the Ghost, and the Machine

Although some tracks may sound more like Halloween music, The Mandolin, the Ghost, and the Machine was released on Valentine’s Day 2023. It’s a concept album that makes use of a mandolin on each of the nine tracks. The music is hard to fit into any category. It’s not ambient. It’s not house. It has some drone qualities. It’s experimental.

Zero to One

Zero to One was composed as part of a project with Ghost on this Earth. The six experimental tracks released on December 1, 2023 led to the full collaborative album called Portrait of an Abstract Personality.

Pop, Smack, Sugar

Pop, Smack, Sugar: Pure Digital from Pop to Death is an experimental album released in March, 2024 that explores pop sounds. As a musician and songwriter I’ve always had the curse and blessing of fine pop sensibilities. I decided to embrace them for this project.

More to come…

2024 has been a slow year for my electronic music project. Although I hope to get one more Anderhill project completed before the end of the year, that might not happen. Still, in any case, there will be more Anderhill music to come in the near future.

In the meantime, I invite you to listen and buy some of my older work. It’s always available at Bandcamp. – dse
