about

Heliostāsio stands for the standing of the sun so called by ancient Greeks to describe the solstice. This ambient album is the outcome of an impromptu live jam session by sound artists’s Michael Reiley (Philadelphia) and Wild Anima (Berlin) recorded at Berlin’s Glogauair residency space in September 2018.
Inspired by their own individual stays in Iceland the artists paint a multi-layered soundscape standing in between night and day and time and matter. Translating this infinite yet ephemeral moment found in the dance of the celestial bodies, where shadow and light slip softly in between the rhythms of nature and the cosmos. The spaces in between, dawn and dusk, solstices and equinoxes. Recurring patterns yet never the same.

About the artists

Michael Reiley
Composer and musician Michael Reiley (AKA Mikronesia) creates sonic expressions rooted in the traditions of soundscapes, therapeutic music and Deep Listening®. His work explores the relationship between present moment awareness, deep time and humanity’s personal connection through listening. For over two decades he has created recordings, concerts, scores for dance, film and gallery installations. Over the past four years, he has been traveling at artists residencies around the world gathering field recordings for the Echozoo project and teaching with his Deep Listening and Somatic based workshop Listening Bodies.

He is currently a teacher at the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. He is also studying to become a certified therapeutic musician with the Music for Healing and Transition Program, which serves the ill and dying with live music for healing, or life-to-death transitioning in hospice. His most recent project, Celestial Music Box, is an ambient music sleep system that generates soothing music for sleep and healing using the coordinates of the stars in the sky.

Wild Anima
Wild Anima (Alex Alexopoulos) is a Paris born Berlin based sound artist and live performer. In her approach she seeks to bind the emotional and spiritual processes as a means of healing, utilising the ecological framework.
She has recently released a concept album Alkhemy that was partly developed in Iceland and is the result of an ongoing project that explores the field of ecology of emotions; ie. how our mental health reflects in the state of the environment, in relation to the electromagnetic fields generated by the heart. Through a wide array of experimental vernaculars Wild Anima creates a very sensual, visceral and avant/art sound.
