Duncan Patterson’s career traces back to the early 90s, when he began his musical incursions as a member of Anathema, a group that would pioneer and remain as forerunners of the unique Doom Metal genre throughout that decade.
Patterson would later also become involved with Antimatter, a project which would find him developing his age-old talent for emotional and atmospheric song-writing into new formats, and which he quit in late 2004 as the early sketches of what would later grow into Íon were drafted.
One can arguably class Íon as Patterson’s most personal creation to date - a creation which he has fathered on his own, and one through which he taps deeper into his spiritual identity and heritage. This musical entity which Patterson has named after the Gaelic word for ‘pure’ - a word which accurately pins down the project’s mindset - seems to elude strict categorization, and even the apparently all-encompassing definition of World Music falls short in defining the ethereal moods that “Madre, Protégenos”, Íon’s debut album, comes to reveal.
Work is now underway on the second album “Immaculada” which will be recorded in Portugal this summer.
Tracklist as follows:-
Immaculada
Temptation
Adoration
The Silent Stars
Damhsa na gceithre ghaoth
Invidia
Cetetea Cisnadioara
Return To Spirit

Brilliant music. While exploring the haunting beauty of Antimatter music I came to Ìon. This is simplicity (but very complex simplicity) and pureness to the top. So looking forward to the new album!

In answer to johny454 who asked who is the female vocalist. The answer is that there are four women singing in the album "Madre Protégenos". Their names are Emily Saaen, Teresa Christodoulou, Valentina Buroni and Marcela Bovio.

Well, i love the cd, and the artwork as well, pretty simple but it makes a great package. There's only one annoying thing. The tag isn't correct, and it's tagged as Ion instead of Íon. I wonder how they could let this pass.
