On Every Somewhere Elliott utilizes sampling and re-sampling, modular and analog synthesizers to construct a buoyant and effervescent dreamworld. Voyaging patiently and thoughtfully between organic and digital textures, the results vividly evoke a sense of wonder and an immutable freedom to imagine.
Every Somewhere was “formed on the idea of a pre-death cosmosis, in which we do not have to wait until death to achieve connection and unity with the cosmos. It’s a tough thought, especially when it seems our current societal structure demands division”, shares Elliott. The first single “Refractory Cores” “aims to help celebrate the complexity of life and the self-learning we have to do to bring about this unity”. Followed by “Shelter In Western Regions with Ryan J Raffa” which Elliott thinks “paints a picture of hope amidst the darkness, a beacon for weary souls seeking solace in a new safe space”.
