CD - PROJECT PITCHFORK - ELYSIUM 2024 Album

Everything ends. Eventually. The good and the bad, the pain and the pleasure. This is a pillar

of our very existence: mortality defines us, fulfils us, makes us feel, think, and be.

Mortality, infinity and everything in-between are also what drive Peter Spilles, the ingenious

mastermind of PROJECT PITCHFORK. For over 30 years he has been studying the human

condition and the metaphysics of the cosmos, the magic that binds us, the fear that stalks us.

With "Akkretion" and "Fragment", he released the first two parts of an interstellar trilogy in 2018

- albums that illuminated the dark electronic universe of PROJECT PITCHFORK like never

before. After a long silence, the final act of this cosmic symphony is upon us: "Elysium". And the

wait was worth every second. "Elysium" is nothing less than the soundtrack to the stars, trans-

ported to earth and translated into huge cathedrals of dark electronic sound.

Nothing has been the same since the first two chapters of the ultimate PROJECT PITCHFORK

triptych were released. For Peter Spilles himself, for each of us, indeed for the whole world.

Pandemic, war, and a planet increasingly groaning under billions of bacteria slowly bleeding it .

dry.

Therefore, the Peter Spilles we meet in "Elysium" is - and has to be - a very different Peter Spilles.

Despite current and past world-weariness, the music remains intense, urgent, and uplifting. In fact,

it seems as if Peter Spilles has weaponised the experience, channeling it all into the sheer power

of "Elysium". This is pure catharsis in electronic form, a glowing monolith which effortlessly trans-

cends time and space, pulsating through towering gothic anthems for a broken world.

Of course, after almost 20 albums, Spilles understands both the game and theory. He knows

better than anyone what defines the DNA of PROJECT PITCHFORK, a distinctive sound instantly

recognisable, gloriously unique. A glimpse into his innermost being has always been a thing of

terrible beauty but now it grows ever more beguiling.
