Sphere Soundtrack: Trey Anastasio Details New Instrumental Album ‘ATRIUMS’

Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio will release a new album entitled ATRIUMS this Friday, September 20 via his Rubber Jungle Records imprint. The LP features a suite of instrumental guitar compositions he wrote and recorded for Phish’s April run at Sphere in Las Vegas.

The music featured on ATRIUMS played in the atrium and public spaces at the technologically-advanced venue April 18 – 21. Anastasio made full use of the venue’s immersive concert experience by using light, sculpture and sound to transform Sphere’s hallways.

“The six-part ATRIUMS song suite was born out of years of experimentation at Trey’s soundchecks, where he explores the capabilities of his ever-expanding palate of effects,” notes press materials heralding the forthcoming record. “With ATRIUMS, Anastasio has created atmospheric compositions awash with droning loops, echoes, and waves of tonal feedback layered with gentle, melodic fretwork. Each of the six ATRIUMS compositions takes on a unique sonic hue, but together immerse the listener in a cohesive, expansive whole.”

ATRIUMS will be available on streaming services and the LivePhish app this Friday. Proceeds from the album will benefit Anastasio’s Divided Sky Foundation. The foundation operates a residential recovery program in Ludlow, Vermont.
