about

Bryan Tewell Hughes combines ethereal Electronica with organic and acoustic elements to produce lush, detailed, enigmatic pieces. As a composer, musician, and audio craftsman, Hughes’ vision is rich, attention-grabbing, and original; AeTopus albums are not mere collections of individual songs - they are flowing, thematic works of sonic art through which universal themes gently emerge with abstraction and sophistication.

Formatted for vinyl LP, Urbus captures impressions of urban environments past, present, and future. Sparkling electronics, atmospheric synthesizers, and sparse glitch accents contribute to this fresh take on the AeTopus sound.

Track 9 (Zoan - abbreviated version) and Track 10 (Aerie - extended version) do not appear on the CD and vinyl formats, but are included in the digital download that comes with the purchase of physical albums.

My thematic albums are steeped in the traditions of the Berlin School of electronic music, the technology of modern Ambient and Downtempo, the gestalt of Abstract Expressionism, and the cinematic soundtracks of the twentieth century. ... more

Illuminized
by exedra

This minimalist collection blurs the line between music and modern art, with pieces that are distinct enough to be recognizable in a large ambient playlist, yet abstract enough to blend in perfectly. AeTopus

This album has a compelling flow and an expansive, evocative sense of mystery and space. Something I'd want to listen to as I piloted a ship into a black hole. Ed Grimley

Everything you would expect from the names above the title, but there's a lot of it, it's 24/96, and the production values keep it interesting. Thanks, guys. dag_nabbhett
