Pantaleimon is the musical project of British artist Andria Degens. Degens is a multi-instrumentalist but she doesn’t weave her music in traditional formats. As a self-taught musician inspired by artists such as Brian Eno, Can, Neu, Mississippi Fred McDowall, Eden Ahbez, Djivan Gasparyan, Kate Bush, Nico, David Bowie, Soundgarden, and Vedic Chanting, Andria has developed her sound over the years and has not been constrained by received assumptions about particular musical pairings or forms. Rather, she has experimented and intuited her way towards instruments and treatments that allow her to express her trance inducing sound. Her use of guitar effects pedals in conjunction with Appalachian Dulcimer is a case in point. Taking a quintessential folk instrument and processing it heavily to achieve a new repertoire of sounds is atypical, highly creative and a hallmark of her music. Guest members of Pantaleimon have included Isobel Campbell, Jay Darlington, Baby Dee, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Hugo Race and James Blackshaw. After a series of life events prevented Andria from producing new music 'The Conversation' appeared early 2023, followed by a second single 'To The In Between' released later in the same year featuring French born electronic sound artist Olivia Louvel. Meanwhile the latest single, 'And Then There Was You' is a joyful layered guitar piece. This trilogy of instrumental singles were an intro to the new album 'Up With The Moon'.
