about
Formed in: Oakland, California (2011) ILLUDIUM were conceived by multi-instrentalist, anthropologist and visual artist Shantel Amundson, who was drawing from the beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Coast, the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz mountains, and the blue ocean among which the guitarist and vocalist grew up and which still remain an important source of her inspiration. Taking their name from a concept coined by Mircae Eliade, ILLUDIUM can be seen as the musical embodiment of the religious philosopher’s idea of “illud tempus” (“that time”), which is referring to the mythical sacred time of the first creation of this world. With a degree in cultural anthropology and art history, it is hardly surprising that Shantel’s lyrics revolve around mystical and metaphysical ideas.
