Anchorites of the 21st Century is the second release from Conny Plankton in the last month of 2020, this strangest of years. Themes revolve around the use of the Behringer TD3 Bassline, connected through various patchings to a range of assorted modular and semi modular devices. The title of Anchorites refers to the monks and nuns of the 12th century - voluntarily locked away top achieve a higher ecstatic and spiritual experience - often being driven mad in the process. Now, in the 21st Century an enforced lockdown from Covid-19 sees a reversal of the situation - although mental disintegration remains a common consequence.
All graphics for the title and seaprate tracks are made from the series of photographs used for the album, Dark Corona, and edited through the Iphone App, Hyperspektiv.
