Tony Anderson - Ancestral

The photo was taken near my Grandmother's farm outside of Hooper, Nebraska. Her name was Kaye Benson and she's the one who convinced my parents to leave south Florida in the late 1980s to experience life in the heartland. Her home (and the land it was on) continues to be idyllic each time I return. Many of my favorite memories from childhood took place there, and the nostalgia continues to draw me back even though she's gone. What I love remembering most is how quiet things would get on summer nights. Perhaps that's what Ancestral is so simple. So soft.
I recently found a letter Grandma Kaye wrote my parents in January of 1990 just after my mom and dad had taken 4 of us kids (all under the age of 5) to Nebraska for the first time:
"David and Ariane, I saw you walking hand in hand down the front lawn and later far out into the fields. I hope you had a peaceful, tranquil walk and perceived the beauty of the clean air and green that lies beneath the crunchy brittle stacks of the earth - and that it could be yours, too."

7 minutes passed like a millisecond, but I felt something that felt like billions of years. The best ambient track that has overwhelmed me since 'Debris'. Absolutely breathtaking

There is nothing like a Tony Anderson track to guide you in some internal reflection of your life. Simply stunning. I adore it. The world would be a better place if more people appreciated this magic. ❤❤❤

Tony is a gift from God, how else could we be blessed with such beauty. He takes you back to memories and feelings you thought were gone forever and you can relive precious past times, with those often who are no longer with us. It’s like taking off a worldly body and just existing in spirit. If I listen after studying Gospel it helps me stay in that beautiful connected place with The Lord. Thank you Tony

I met Tony Anderson personally at a retreat put on by United Pursuit in TN many years ago. As a video & film maker, his music has inspired many of my projects. Whenever I search for music for a project, I always search Tony Anderson first. The texture, detail, depth, and meaning of each song is amazing. Feels like each song has its own story to tell. Thanks Tony for creating beautiful things!
