Reaching for those that reach for death and fail

About Me

"If by noise you mean uncomfortable sound, then pop music is noise to me."
~ Masami Akita (Merzbow)

A P H E L I {0} N

is the sound of uncontroled emotions.

This project started after I took a trip to Canada which turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Upon returning to the states I was drowning in anger and heart ache. I felt there was no way out of it. I tried to channel that emotion into sound, what came out was the first of what would later be called Aphelion.

aphelion

Pronunciation: a-'fEl-y&n
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural aphelia /-y&/
Etymology: New Latin, from apo- + Greek hElios sun -- more at SOLAR
: the point in the path of a celestial body (as a planet) that is farthest from the sun --

.. ..

A tragic car accident.

Your best friend dying.

Swimming in the sea and feeling something bite your leg and pull you under.

A train wreck

The moment you lose all possible self control and go on a killing spree.

The end of everything
