Animore | EverAfter
Animorè is born! I know that it may come as a bit of a surprise to know that the new single, EverAfter , and video is not actually an Anything Box release. In this case there's a good reason, and I've sent this email out for everyone to hear it from my own heart... This is about making a change, and taking a chance in altering the future. That's what I've set about to do, and I will need all the support I can get from anyone who has ever been affected by the music and art of Anything Box, and ...

Anything Box | There Is No Meaning
It began with the idea that the studio could be spontaneous, just like the old days when all I had was two synths and a drum machine. The setup is rather simple... Well.... OK.The laptop is running Ableton Live and a video triggering program. I had an MS20 loaded on there for the bass sound. Prior to filming, I had recorded some samples into the Kaos Pad as well as some strange loops from my radio (you can see its flashing lights). I also sung into the microphone and recorded the sample, "Ther...

Anything Box | Worth
Worth is the title track to Anything Box's second album, recorded in Germany with Gareth Jones. It was an ambitious album, too. A-Box was there during the war, away from their families, and without a doubt the lonilness of the journey goes through the songs. Provided with a bunch of snapshots from the recording and the apartment that Claude S. and Dania Morales shared, we offer up the documentation of Worth. Was it justifiable suffering?Many thanks to their friend Mike for providing these tidb...

Anything Box | Industrial Wasteland
“Industrial Wasteland is among the oldest of all Anything Box songs. It was supposed to be on Peace, but we voted it out. I was secretly thinking it would be on our 2nd album, Worth. That proved to be wrong due to the album’s darker leanings, and although I feel the lyrics in Industrial Wasteland reflected Worth’s sensibility, the arrangements were too poppy. Somehow, the song seems to have remained stuck in 1988, a twist of time and its solid grip holding it to its own retro condition. And ye...

Anything Box | Every single Day (remixed)
“This version of ‘Every Single Day’ is the Remix that I did back in 1994. The video was directed by Greg Baird, a college student that Dania knew. We sometimes looked at this one a failed attempt to capture the ‘Pop Rave’ scene that was in Los Angeles. Although we were not part of it officially, we were always invited to play these events. At what was supposed to be the largest, the cops showed up and arrested everyone. Our equipment was thought stolen, but it was later given back to us by a f...

Anything Box | Heaven60
“Heaven60 is a song I wrote about the two absolutes in life: being born and dying. What do we do with the uncertain in-between? Contemplate or experience it? It was also a goodbye to my father who died of Cancer. Aside from that, the meaning is up for debate, which is what songs should do. This was recorded in El Paso at Club 101. The footage was badly damaged, and so I had to re-create the track, using both the vocals from the tape and the original song when the drop outs happen. The extra ‘s...

Anything Box | When We Lie
“When We Lie is a testament to how far some people will go to film a concert. The guy who submitted this footage had five friends with cameras at the show, and the footage was stitched together from all the angles that were shot. The audio was restored as much as we could, and it is quite good. I love the girl close-up towards the end. It always brings a smile to my face… This was in Mexico, where shortly after this song, a riot broke out and we had to run for our lives as fans chased us. Dani...

Anything Box | Yesterday
“Yesterday” was an unfair whim of mine. I convinced the band to do it as an encore and it almost didn’t happen. None of them really knew the chords, we had never rehearsed it. Gary and Dave worked out their parts just seconds before and we went for it. I think it is one of my happiest of moments. I am very grateful to my friend Marcelo for having captured this moment in time… We’ve never done it since…” -- Claude S.

Anything Box | The Studio
It's just a peak of the studio of course. The secret parts are still a mystery, but we thought you might like to see where magic is sometimes created. It's a small room now, but it used to be bigger, and as stated, not all of it is visible here. Notice Drum Machine Head? :)-- Claude S.
