Aeter is a Danish trio that produces electronic music with vocals. Gry
Bagoien's voice ranges from sounding carefree / wispy to passionate /
dark. The vocals add a much needed human prescence lacking in most present
day electronic music. Never once does Aeter suffer from sounding dry or
sterile, even when the vocals are not present. The mood is cold and nocturnal
yet you can feel the warmth of the blood that pulses forth from the sounds.
The fragmented songs form themselves over time-bits of rhythm and melody
are introduced until they are tied together towards the end of each piece.
This gives a visual/narrative tonality to the music. The fragmentation
creates enough space in this music that it invites you to crawl in between
the sounds. Or else it will crawl into your head. Soft music that you
can play loud. Essential. (Jeff Surak, Vital Weekly)
ÆTER was active between 1995 & 2001
