Unguarded Presents Aeondelit - The Consciousness Mosaic

CLOT Magazine

Aeondelit, a Colombian music producer, takes us on our next mixtape trip into the sonic landscapes of anime and video games. Aeondelit has just released his second full-length album, Vestigios (Unguarded, 2022), which tells a lucid, captivating story of heritage, transformation, vulnerability and healing. The release will include the artwork created by Petra Hermanova and will be accompanied by limited textile pieces by Diane Esnault. Aeondelit practice explores themes related to technology and the human condition in sound while focusing on the creative use of sample manipulation techniques and digital sound synthesis to deepen the idea of a dialogue between computer and human and how both influence each other. Listening to Vestigio enthrals you in a net woven with the fourth-world meanders of Jon Haswell and the dramatic serenity of Vangelis. Aeondelit’s music is strongly influenced by the rocky surrounding of his hometown Manizales in Colombia and fuses electronic sensibilities, ambient streams and avant-percussive rhythms that build his sound identity. On Vestigios, he comments that the memories of past generations, the lives that burn within him, are the pillars of who he is. These constitute longings and traps, sin and strength, the temple that breaks down and rebuilds. The different dimensions of consciousness converge in the mind, which constantly tells us who we are, synthesising and projecting our contradictions. The pain that comes with getting in touch with our vulnerabilities opens the doors to healing through confrontation. Vestigios is the bridge between the temporal and the eternal, the crystallised remnant of pain caused by transformation and recognition of the convulsive underworld of our psyche. For this mixtape, he’s prepared a selection of anime and video games, which have always been a key influence in his creative process; this mix is a compilation of his favourite anime and video games soundtracks of all time.
