"...Symphonic Rock that
transmits an optimism beyond the common..." - Descubre La Caja Pandora
"AETHELLIS' music is more like a
cross between Tony BANKS,
Alan PARSONS and Rick WAKEMAN" - Lise
(Hibou), The Prog Archives
"Aethellis is a mix of all the best things available in the prog world."-
I particularly
like "St. Augustus," but then any song that can incorporate the word
"exacerbate" has got my vote.

Aire Apparent Studio
Aethellis has the
soaring majesty of classic symphonic rock and incorporates a
contemporary rhythmic feel.
The Aethellis
album was spearheaded and recorded in 2002/2003
by classically trained keyboardist/vocalist/hack guitarist/Narcissist
Ellsworth Hall and has many influences including rock,
classical, synth pop,
funk, jazz
and even hip-hop. This either represents wide tastes or an inability to
focus.
He puts this genre wanderlust to good use in his soundtrack work
with Ellsounds.
Album tracks, other originals and classic rock/progressive
rock
covers are performed live with several cohorts from previous
bands including Mark Van Natta and Erik Marks.

UPDATE 6/8/09
Aethellis
performances:
The
amazing, versatile and quite modest Chris Marks (guitar/vocals) took a
break from performing with the 2nd Sole Band to return to the Aethellis
fold for the Zoobilation performance in Salisbury MD on June 6th.
For more details, see the Live page.
A special concert is in the planning stages for
Summer or Fall 2009 which will be videotaped in its entirety for a DVD release
and the Tchessi Channel (online video). Let the arguments over the songlist order ensue!
More details and performance photos
are posted at the Live page.

Recording for the new album is
underway and will feature new member Cherylandra on vocals
along
with Mark Van Natta on guitar and vocals. Ellsworth will again be doing
the keyboards, vocals, and guitar.
Bassist
Erik Marks is also scheduled to appear on some tracks, particularly one
of them he co-wrote. That would be only fair, eh? Completion is
tentatively set for late 2009 if Ellsworth gets off his duff.
The video version of the song "Hubris"
differs somewhat from the album version, features Frances Swarthington,
footage shot by Cheryl Hall and quirky band members attempting to synch
to the music. The song remained in the Broadjam.com
Progressive Rock Top 10 chart for 6 months,
debuting at #1 on March 23, 2003. It also appeared in the Rock (#7),
Maryland (#1) and Mid-Atlantic (#5) Top 10 charts.
