SPOTTED PECCARY Welcomes AeTopus with Multi-Album Deal
AeTopus Brings His Progressive Electro-Acoustic Music to Spotted Peccary
Portland-based Spotted Peccary Music, a leading independent record label specializing in electronic and ambient music, is pleased to announce the signing of AeTopus to a multi-album record deal beginning in 2023.
“I’m thrilled to be welcomed into the SPM family,” says Bryan Hughes aka AeTopus, “and am really looking forward to sharing my work with their discerning listeners. For years, I’ve been keenly aware of SPM’s commitment to offering high-fidelity, artistic sound explorations, and have appreciated their uncompromising stance on preserving the creative intentions of their artists. This is the perfect fit for AeTopus, which has typically dodged categorization within the Electronic and Ambient communities for two decades - I feel like I’ve found a warm, nurturing home, and am excited to engage with such a vibrant community.”
AeTopus, based in Bellingham, WA, makes music that he describes as Progressive Electro-Acoustic Music for the Imagination and Soul, resulting in an award-winning blend of Electronica, pastoral New Age, and Dark Ambient styles. The signing to Spotted Peccary Music is a natural fit for AeTopus, as the label has a long history of working with innovative artists who push the boundaries of the electronic and ambient music genres.
"We're thrilled to welcome AeTopus to the Spotted Peccary Music family," said Spotted Peccary Music co-founder Deborah Martin. "AeTopus is a talented and visionary artist who has been crafting beautiful, genre-bending music for many years. We're excited to help bring AeTopus' music to a wider audience, sharing this unique sound with the world."
AeTopus' first release on Spotted Peccary Music is scheduled for later this year and will be available in a variety of formats. Label co-founder and mastering engineer Howard Givens commented, “We resonate with how Bryan expresses his story and his music as AeTopus. In one way, it feels very familiar, yet there’s a deeper, richer investigation that he takes toward the subtle aspects of life. We look forward to the opportunity to further develop, grow and share that uniqueness.”
