Browse piano sheets by Aether on Zen Virtual Piano. Aether’s Bandcamp page describes him as a visually impaired Scotsman currently somewhere in North America, building a video game. LA Weekly says Aether started DJing and producing when he was introduced to FL Studio in 2009. He told LA Weekly he was writing drum loops in his later years of high school, which gave him a head start on the college course he ended up studying. Drum loops written in high school, and a course that followed, suggest a producer who grew from a hobby into a trade, and who started early. He said he has worked on everything from medieval soundtracks to contemporary romantic piano pieces to ambient soundscapes to bass-driven electronic hits, and feels he is most notably known for very mellow electronic music with intricate drum work and beautiful pianos and textures. He told Audeze that he listened to a lot of rap and dance music as a child and wanted to be a rapper, and that he thinks he initially switched to production when his older brother came home from college studying sound engineering. A boy who wanted to rap and moved to production, perhaps when his brother came home from a sound-engineering course, makes a small family connection part of the story of his music. He told Audeze that he is fortunate to be exclusively in control of everything he makes outside of collaborations, from production, writing and mixing to commissioning artwork, trying to reflect as much of his initial ideas as he can. He works constantly on headphones because everywhere he has lived has had awful acoustics, and in that interview he named his Mizuki and In Shattered Forms EPs from 2021 among his recent highlights, because of the growth in his overall sound. Perhaps writing, mixing and artwork all in his own hands, with headphones as his constant reference, carry one person’s taste from the opening idea to the finished cover. His advice to others is to back up all your files, after a failed hard drive cost him all the recordings for a game score he had spent two months writing, and to take your time, because the standard he set in his earlier years was too unrealistic for the time he had been making music. In the Audeze interview he said he had been writing as Aether for almost ten years and had only recently started to feel happy with his results. He said Monstercat makes you feel part of a family, and that Airborne carries a reminder that you can always aim to achieve your goals, however unrealistic they may sound at first. Taken together, a lost hard drive, a patient standard and a message about aiming high sketch an artist who learned patience by experience and now offers it to others as advice.
