About
Chris Bartels is a musician and producer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Earning a Bachelor's of Science in Music Production at McNally Smith College of Music in 2012, his expertise is music, but he wears many hats in the media industry. Besides writing his own music and releasing albums, composing for film and ads, engineering, mixing, mastering, and producing music, he has experience in video production and editing, design and photography, live sound, marketing, and website development.
Chris launched his own company Anthem Falls Music in the fall of 2012 as a hybrid record label and production house. Rather than separate his own creative projects from his compositional work in film, TV, and advertising, he wanted to develop all his work under this umbrella.
Current projects include:
Bora York - Chris and his wife Rebekah, along with good friends, make up this Minneapolis indie-pop band. All songs from the forthcoming debut album Dreaming Free written and produced by Chris. /// borayork.com
Morning's Gold - Chris' debut indie-folk album under his own name. /// anthemfallsmusic.com/chrisbartels
Elskavon - Ambient music. All songs from the forthcoming debut album Movements in Season written and produced by Chris. /// anthemfallsmusic.com/elskavon
Rebekah Bartels - Along with leading worship with his wife Rebekah, Chris also co-writes, produces, and manages her original music. The debut album is currently in production. /// facebook.com/rebekahbartelsmusic651.399.1051

BORA YORK
Bora York is my current band. Writing, recording, and playing fun music with my wife and good friends. It's a blast. The debut album, Dreaming Free, is coming soon.“Bora York is ridiculously promising for being so early in their career. You know when you hear something and you have that “Ah-ha!” moment? It seems that a lot of people are having the same reaction to the band’s debut single, Close Your Eyes…. I’m excited to see the reaction from the community when this record drops. It’s pure, no-frills dream-pop.” - Jon Schober, The Current from Minnesota Public Radio

LETTER AND LINES
Letter And Lines was a band that I formed along with good friends. Vision was our debut EP released on January 12, 2011. We played a number of shows around the Twin Cities and released the single Tightropes (below). We decided it was best to move on as a band summer of 2011. It was a wonderful journey that I'll never forget. Read the full story here.

Adrian of All Things Go had this to say about Open Tales:
“Meet Bora York. The Minneapolis husband-wife duo are set to break out of the Midwest with their enchanting dream-pop in 2013, starting with “Open Tales.” The single comes off Bora York’s debut album, Dreaming Free, a release…
- New Lotus Plaza single “Strangers.” I dig.

(No streaming audio available)1 plays - soundarchitects: Keith Kenniff (Helios/Goldmund) shared this track earlier this week. Taken from a short film soundtrack he is work on. I love the way he records his piano, you can almost listen to the mechanism of it. And ya, Keith is the guy who did sound for recent iphone 4S ads.
