What happens when you cross Miami and SF?

About Me

A&L started making music in late 2002, having met over a Danny Tenaglia bootleg before one of Ian's gigs (we promise it wasn't ever sold or recorded Danny, only performed!). A&L or "The AeonLine" refers to the artist handles Ian (Aeon) and Mishi (Line) were going under at the time. It was simple, catchy, and it stuck. The fact it also implies a way of thinking is a, in effect, a double meaning. We're huge fans of that sort of thing. aeon
n 1: (Gnosticism) a divine power or nature emanating from the Supreme Being and playing various roles in the operation of the universe 2: the longest division of geological time syn: eon 3: an immeasurably long period of time syn: eon

line
n. 1: The path traced by moving a point 2: A real or imaginary mark positioned in relation to fixed points of reference. 3: Ancestry or lineage.


Our work is a massive fusion of styles and experimentation. Our approach is unique and always re-inventing itself. Our goal is simple: to create involving and addictive sounds that explore the entire spectrum of human emotion.
A&L Music is not about one sound, it's about the joy of sound. Every composition is different and should be alive with its own energy. Seemingly random elements from organic sampling, digital synthesis, and our contributing musicians/vocalists erupt from the darkness of pre-creation... gigabytes and countless gigabytes of noise fill our workstations. This wild cacaphony - wav, mp3, aiff, ogg - when played in the right order become a melody.
Melody becomes grace.
And grace, our dearest listeners, transforms us all into something magical. We are elevated beyond the dust, the noise, the chaos, the electric lights and the city streets. For just a moment, perhaps, we are truly alive. This is the gift of music. This is our gift to you.
Our music seeks to inspire, surprise, and brighten the lives of whoever is kind enough to lend us an ear.- Aeon & Line
A note to our dearest friends and fans. Please do not post event fliers in the comments section of our MySpace page, we consider it an abuse of our trust and friendship. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to the people who come here to interact with one another and with A&L Music from all around the world. We thank you for your consideration!
