Portland’s Halcyon High merges cinematic beauty, chaos, and human emotion into an otherworldly audio/visual experience. Formed by Roger Anderson in 2004, Halcyon High’s music is made up of pulsating guitar loops, hypnotic drones, and electronic effects with occasional vocals and customized video projections.
Reviews
"The epic soundscapes displayed on "to be infinite" are moving and powerful, a welcome experience. It's transcendentalism in musical form; no illegal substances needed." - The Mass Media
"Halcyon High makes deep, momentous experimental rock with all the frozen beauty of Sigur Ros" - Download.com
"gentle buzz of dreamy melodies spiraling slowly into oblivion" - Plug In Music
Hey Roger! Thanks for great visual at Sonic's show. Water dripping parts were right on with his music!! I enjoyed his stuff so much more with your visual behind him. Great work! Miyako
Holy moly Roger, what a show! Where were the other 600 guitarists when you were up on stage?!! Amazing stuff for an amazing night. Thanks a bunch for setting that up, we'll keep in touch!
Thanks for the kind words, Roger. I popped in the DVD last weekend. I'd been listening to so much big-band music lately that you totally reminded me how much I love shoegazer stuff. Dream on, psychic astronaut!
Hey Roger,beautiful set last Saturday(as always)."The Aftermath" gives me goose-pimples evertime I hear/see it. Amazing.Cool Waves fucking owns!
Keep on rockin' in a dream world....
Hi Halcyon High,

Much love and support.
good night.

Roger, it was great meeting you at Edinburgh. Thanks for checking out our show! Most importantly, thanks for setting up coolwaves! It would've been hard to set up these gigs without that community.
Spinning Halcyon High right now (no joke). Keep us posted on the latest happenings!
Thanks so much for coming out to our show last night. It was great to finally play out.
Hey, you had a cool set at the Knockout the other night with Astral. Don't know how you can be up there by yourself and still sound like a group of guitarists.
Hi Roger,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your music. We are totally groovin' on it! Thanks. I wish we lived closer so we could see your awesome multimedia live performances.
i would just like to say... keep up the good work. i have been a fan of yours for over a year and would just like to thank you for inspiring me so much
