New Music

I was told this sounds like a snippet from a movie soundtrack. That said, the beginning does remind me of the theme from Beverly Hills Cop.

Mythrus – Acheron

I’ve been producing sounds for sometime now but rarely feel inclined to share. Now that I actually own instruments and some welcomed free time, I’m composing as often as I can and sharing more too. 

Acheron, the first complete track of 2020, was heavily influenced by a recent visit to New Orleans. The track is a study on the idea that New Orleans is a city doomed due to being built on a swamp.

Acheron, an actual river in Greece, was often referred to as a swamp in Greek comedies; but more widely known in Dante’s Inferno as the river that Charon must ferry souls across in order to get to Hell. The Suda, a 10th century lexicon describes the river as “a place of healing, not a place of punishment, cleansing and purging the sins of humans”. Which, for me, drew a compelling similarity to the practice of Mardi Gras and the purge that ensues every year before the start of Lent. Needless to say, the presence of death was everywhere in NOLA, but not in a way that is frightening, but humbling.

I was recently approached to do a remix of Lesson Seven‘s Radiation for Emergency Hearts Records by author, activist, label head, and musician Scott Crow. I’m honored to be involved with Scott and his re-emergence into music. Check out my remix on Spotify and Soundcloud.
