Pithovirii is his new concept album, which was in part inspired by Vladimir Sorokin’s novel Ice Trilogy which in turn led to reading about the Tunguska meteor which fell in Siberia in the early 20th century which in turn lead to reading about 15000 year old viruses found in glacier ice. Using electric guitar and effect pedals, Aidan attempted to musically convey the idea of glacial density and stasis within which lurk potentially malevolent microbiome.
Big admirer of Sorokin, the ICE trilogy and THE BLIZZARD too.
