Elements of Illusion is a one-man electronic music group fromed by Andrew Wilson in July 2003.
History
Beginnings
Elements of Illusion started when Andrew got hold of a Roland MIDI controller keyboard won on eBay and synthesizer software. Already experienced for 6 years as an electric guitarist and having never played a keyboard instrument (except for his mates piano now and then) he set about learning to play. Andrew's growing experience on the keyboard is evident as the releases progress.
Demo's
"The Dark Illusion"
The first demo The Dark Illusion was entirely pre-sequenced on synthesizer software but got rave reviews from the two friends who heard it!
This is well good!
Yeh I quite liked it, it's pretty morbid though!
"Demo 2"
Although still pre-sequenced this release was seen as a flop in the eyes of the two friends. Cited as being too repetitive and dreary, added to that the unimaginative demo name and track names (Track 1, Track 2 etc.), it was quickly forgotten.
Hope and Despair EP
Then came the EP "Hope & Despair" in 2007, keyboards were used entirely with no pre-sequencing at all. 3 completely new tracks and 6 rehearsal tracks (including a SNES soundtrack rehearsal) made up the EP. The EP attracted rave reviews from all and was very well received in the Crewe and Sheffield ambient music community.
Sudden End
In Autumn 2007 Andrew Wilson announced that Elements of Illusion was now "dead". It's believed that this decision was made by him because of committments to his primary job as a website developer for Mighty Estate Agents.
Comeback
New musicial path
In March 2008, Andrew announced that he would be starting Elements of Illusion back up but this time taking the music in different and more progressive manner. It's thought that Andrew is now using sampled guitar sounds, an effects pod and a theremin to create spacey ambient music aimed at Star Trek fans but using the 5/8 time signature for added progressive effect.
