A year ago, Tony Anderson appeared on my blog with Nuit, but this time, the Californian artist has something different to offer. Debris is a theme album about the 9/11 attacks and it's structured to feel like a "an experiential and audible documentary".
Apart from the dark and sadness-filled music, the album is filled with fields recordings and samples from news from over a decade ago. We all remember this day, but the album is designed for us to feel as if we were there. As Anderson puts it, "the music isn't supposed to be the focal point - I want you to feel like you're at street level hearing and experiencing these events the way that so many did. If anything, the music is supposed to simply support whatever it is that you need to feel" and it's an absolutely poignant experience. But in the artist's work, it's not only about the difficult topic, the music
that conveys the message is also extremely beautiful, very much thanks to the inclusion of the neoclassical instruments. All of this makes the album both beautiful and airy as well as unnerving and tear-jerking which makes a unique combination indeed.
