Debut album from producer A Path Untold focuses on a haunting, emotive sound - 1st release on Aligning Minds Recordings
A Path Untold is the solo electronic music project of producer, Daniel A. Merrill, who is one half of the genre-crossing duo known as Aligning Minds. Typically known for their work in the realms of 'transformational' psychedelic bass music, downtempo and idm, Aligning Minds has made a large impact on audiences worldwide with their melodic, soulful sound.
A Path Untold unlocks a new chapter in this producer’s focus, moving forward with the creation of music that defies genre categorization and captivates the imagination and heart. It explores the notion that "music is a mystery to be unraveled; a path to explore the far reaches of yet untold existence."

Drawing upon a fusion of genre influences like ambient, idm, deep house and world music, A Path Untold seeks to unearth new emotional response patterns within the listener for a mutually connective experience. The album will be the first release on the newly established Aligning Minds Recordings label, which will focus on “electronic music crafted with an emphasis on emotional depth and personal perspective.”

           Crafted over the course of two years, this collection of 9 tracks explores various styles and structures, focusing on off-kilter rhythms, haunting modalities, a strong use of organic, found-sound and ethereal vocal explorations to create an otherworldly vibe.  Conceptually, the album is about self/collective discovery, light found within darkness, numinous experience, secrets, and the process of inward/outward illumination.

           From conception to completion, Daniel worked dually alongside visual mixed-media artist Toby Verhines who created a stunning art package for the album, which will be available in hard-copy on both cd and vinyl.  Taking much from the the title and the music itself — literally and by way of abstraction — Toby created artwork crafted with the wholehearted intention of giving the music and the concept behind the music a textural and mythical face, so to speak. “The music inspired imagery of a venture into a ritual abyss led by the echoes of a sound so linearly far away, yet so familiar. As I listened, I questioned what the walls of this world would look like if only I had the courage to dim my lantern and look.”

           This being said, the path Toby took in creating was very omnidirectional and very unconventional. His mediums and methods included, but were not limited to:  symmetry, a-symmetry, ink, salt, ash, various substrates, geometry, texture, macro photography, illustration, and manipulation. “I wanted the artwork to be an exercise in contrasts; viscous and sharp; dark and light; mysterious and familiar. This is what Dan’s compositions commanded….”
