Appreciation for Eremition...

Wanted to take a moment and send a shout out to my colleague and more importantly my friend for taking the time to share their connection towards my most recent musical work entitled Eremition. Below is their written review and video post from last night in case any of you might have interest.

It’s safe to say this is the very first YouTube reaction video for Eremition, and to my knowledge the very first for any of my work? There was some technical difficulties in the beginning I was told, however it was a warming experience to feel held by someone whom truly seems to care about this new path of mine moving forward.

In regards to the Eremition full length, it's been a difficult place to just walk back into and finish considering its personal nature. However I'm confident this debut album "Echoes of Eremition" will find completion in the coming weeks. My goal is to have an album released and rehearsed for next year with a selection of performances in support.

If interested in purchasing the EP to the forthcoming full length please follow the link below.

Be well,

-Chet W. Scott


"Listening to this and hearing how everything is talking with each other, I mean, it’s an ecosystem, an astral beyond what you have here. It’s all these heart vortexes, mesh fractals, just an ever-expanding grid. Everything balanced perfectly. An elemental unity.

I’ve listened to it four times prior to the video reaction. My concussion symptoms were really fucking bad today, but regardless, I’m absolutely blown away by this album of yours. Not only is it the best thing you’ve ever done, but it’s probably one of the best records I’ve ever heard. It’s a masterpiece, and I don’t know what the hell you were using, but it’s pure alchemical beauty.

I mean, thinking of the travesty out there of people making fucking AI-generated music, I can’t believe what you’re doing. It’s just so beautiful, man. I’m ecstatic! What you’re doing in the studio is sheer magic, yet it’s tangible, practical, and utilitarian. I mean, it’s elemental unity, man.

Eremition cured my ears and is helping my head. I listen to it every morning now…it helps me see straight. Thank you."

What my mom thought of your record:

“Transformative into thoughtful comfort and peace. A journey of brilliance and tranquility.”

UPDATED - 10/4/26 - GTR walk in shop stocked releases...



Hello everyone,

The GTR Shop — PNW


For those of you in the Pacific Northwest, the GTR walk-in shop remains open by appointment only. If you’d like to visit, please email me to arrange a date and time, and I’ll be happy to open the shop for you.

The shop occupies a space beneath a private residence, which necessarily limits appointment availability. It is also deliberately small and intimate, allowing for a more personal experience with the releases and their physical editions.

For that reason, please include the total number of people in your party when requesting an appointment. This allows me to ensure that everyone has enough space to browse comfortably and that I can give your visit the time and attention it deserves.

Current Open Hours include:
Monday: 12 PM–5 PM
Friday: 12 PM–5 PM
Saturday: 10 AM–5 PM

Thank you for continuing to support tangible artifacts, independent releases, and the increasingly rare pleasure of having a real piece of art to hold, collect, and return to. It is sincerely appreciated.

I'm also pleased to announce that the vast majority of the walk in shop's catalog is now available to purchase directly online through the GTR Bandcamp Store. Below you'll find a current inventory list that has yet to be added to said artifact shop.

If making a purchase please thoroughly include your name, address and artifact(s) of choice. If you have questions feel free to send an email which is the same as the payment address.

For more information and digital downloads regarding each item tap the cover art!

Be well and thank you for your continued support.

— Chet W. Scott

AVAILABLE NOW - Blood of the Black Owl's - WARmth (2nd Edition 2xCD)

 






Originally released in 2015 through Glass Throat Recordings as a professionally replicated double CD and digital edition, WARmth was issued as a strictly limited run of 1,000 handcrafted artifacts, each individually leather-bound, sewn, and burned by hand.

For those who may have missed the original release, and for those who continue to value the tangible and immersive experience of physical media, we are pleased to announce a second edition. At a time when physical formats are often regarded as obsolete, it is increasingly evident that a renewed appreciation for thoughtfully crafted editions is emerging among listeners and collectors alike.

Blood of the Black Owl's seminal and defining work, WARmth, will once again be made available in a limited-edition color-variant 2xCD format. Produced in strictly limited quantities, this new edition ensures that one of the project's most enduring and influential releases remains accessible to both longtime devotees and new listeners.

To provide a visual representation of this new edition, a selection of photographs has been included. It is important to note, however, that the camera was unable to fully capture the depth, texture, and presentation of the finished release. This is especially true of the chrome-and-silver-on-black CD variant, which appears considerably lighter in photographs than it does in person.

This edition was printed courtesy of my friend David D'Andrea on his remarkable vintage letterpress. The packaging features ultra-gloss black ink printed on premium 24pt soft-touch black stock, the same material utilized for the 2006 release of Alethes. Housed within Glass Throat Recordings' exclusive 6-inch deluxe gatefold CD format, the presentation reflects the label's ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and detail.

Each copy will also include a double-sided 6-inch insert, along with a commemorative sticker while supplies remain available.

The artwork and lettering for this edition were created by David D'Andrea and James Woodhead. The photography, sigils, and ritual adornments surrounding the Nauthic sculpture were contributed by myself as an offering in honor of this particular manifestation of the work.

Included below are a selection of testimonials originally published alongside the collection's first release in 2015. These reflections resonated deeply with me, as they seemed to articulate, with sincerity and insight, the spirit and intention underlying what was offered.

My gratitude to each of you for taking the time to read, engage with, and support this work.

—Chet W. Scott

_____________

"This is gorgeous. The mix is so clear, honest and alive. The pain and love which went into this creation transfers easily and in a welcoming manner. As a listener, I hear and feel the heart beating. The production is flawless, I'm trying to wrap my head around the quality of the timbre you have captured, it's really inspiring.

Your craft is true and the local communities close and distant have much to gain from your work.

As a composer, your work seems to have always carried a whisper of Florian Fricke and Popol Vuh's cinematic transcendence, it is so wonderfully present on this album but there is also something else. A deeper side of your wisdom and personal energies that is coming through. It's quite refreshing and stirs many different emotions within me. There is this bridge that the songs walk, it goes between two valleys, in one meadow I am brought to tears because the struggle is often to relentless and vast for me to conquer.  But on the other side, across the bridge, lies another, a valley that I am able stretch out in, to dance, and circle the ones I love. I am at peace with that dichotomy because it is what this life is often about and what many of us are working through, healing from, and or transcending beyond. In my own spiritual work, I am becoming aware there is not two separate pieces of land that are connected by way of a bridge, but that there is still a larger valley that contains the two, and there is even a larger mountain range, a thousand lakes, clouds, trees, etc. I am free to travel and commune with all of it, we can be that fearless and free. These are the thoughts that your music awakened in me."

-Garek Druss

************************

"I am grateful to have found your music...it really restores, heals and reflects a beautiful and deep relationship to the land that I love here in the Northwest more than anything I've heard (along with various tribal music and stories). When I listen I hear the heartbeat of land, sea and sky of this so accurately...THANK YOU! It's so good to know someone else "listens and understands." Many blessings to you!

-Lady Heron

Two of the most unsung yet influential underground releases turn 20 years old on June 21st!

Two of the most overlooked, under-credited, yet profoundly influential and copied releases to emerge from the so-called "Cascadian" movement turn 20 years old on the Solstice, June 21, 2026.

To mark the occasion, both releases will be available at 23% off throughout the entire weekend, beginning Friday, June 19.

These are the original pressings, the definitive editions featuring some of the most distinctive and uncompromising packaging ever produced within underground music. From extraordinarily rare paper stocks to intricate foil stamping, every detail reflects a level of artistic intention that has become increasingly rare.

If you've been considering adding these to your collection, I wouldn't wait. Opportunities like this do not come around often.

This is more than music; it's a complete artistic statement from an era when physical releases were conceived as works of art in their own right. The vision, craftsmanship, and commitment embodied in these editions remain virtually unmatched, and are a testament to a creative standard that traditional labels have seldom approached.

Defending the World Tree: Volume 2 - An article regarding Glass Throat Recordings...

Hey folks,

I am honored to share that an article concerning both Glass Throat Recordings and my own lifelong musical devotion appears in the latest volume from the publishers of Defending the World Tree: A Journal of Animist Awakening – Trees of Ceremony.

After more than three decades dedicated to the pursuit of authentic underground sound, it is deeply moving to find my work acknowledged within the pages of a publication that speaks to matters so urgently needed in our age. To be seen, regarded, and included among such thoughtful voices is a gift for which I am profoundly grateful.

I encourage those who value independent thought, living traditions, and meaningful cultural inquiry to support the publications of Severed Branches Press. Should your curiosity lead you there, I hope you will explore this particular volume and discover what has been written regarding the world of G.T.R.

My hope is to have copies available through the shop in the near future.

Until then, I ask that you lend your support to the written work of these remarkable minds. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone at S.B.P. for their generosity, encouragement, and belief in what I have sought to create.

More importantly, I wish to acknowledge the essential medicine their work provides: a rekindling of memory, meaning, and sacred relationship in a world increasingly estranged from its roots and overshadowed by the dominant legacies of the Abrahamic traditions.

The photos of the journal covers will send you directly to their website.

Thank you for taking the time,
-Chet W. Scott

Eremition is back in sacred space to finish the debut & album art reveal...

I often find myself wondering whether these posts are truly read, or whether they simply drift quietly into the ether. If you've found something meaningful in them, feel free to leave a comment. I'd be grateful to know.

This week and next, I've returned to the studio to complete the final, minimal guitar passages for the debut Eremition album. My hope is to have Echoes of Eremition finished by Solstice weekend, allowing my attention to fully turn toward opening the store and preparing the releases that remain for the year ahead. Among them is a particularly meaningful project, an album I have been invited to produce, while also contributing compositional work. More will be revealed when the moment feels right.

Recently, I shared a private demo of the Eremition album with a handful of people in the hope of seeing its eventual release find a home beyond the confines of GTR. The responses have been sparse. Some deeply encouraging and heartfelt, others absent altogether. Such is the nature of these things. Time will determine their course. Above all, I hope to see this collection realized on vinyl, where I feel it truly belongs.

Today, I wanted to unveil the album cover.

The photograph is of my mother, captured in Bridgton, Maine back in 1979, standing in a place I have long imagined spending my own twilight years. It felt only natural that she be among the first to hear the work, given the profound personal connection woven throughout its creation. I included her in the private listening link so she could experience that thread for herself.

What she shared in response moved me deeply.

I leave her words with you.  

 




Took some nerd shots from the Eremition sessions. Feeling I've finally achieved the tones, spatial depth and warmth I've been seeking for years!
