We are excited to announce an extremely limited new release and the debut of a new project entitled Eremition - arriving May, 1st for Bandcamp Friday.
Limited to 50 antique gold cassettes, each numbered and housed in handmade tip-on sleeves using obscure gold leaf stock. This format includes a 20-minute bonus track, “Echoes VII,” from the forthcoming full length LP Echoes of Eremition: Vol. 1. The cassette will be available only through the upcoming GTR store and Bandcamp on-line artifact shop, and will not be released digitally until the release of the debut LP as an additional bonus work, where it will appear with a slightly different mix making this edition fully exclusive.
Eremition deliberately eschews narrative frameworks in favor of an ontological restoration of being articulated through somatic soundscapes and solivagant spiral trajectories. It constitutes an ongoing personal investigation into worldly isolophilia, examining and exploring ritual as an interiorized and phenomenological practice.
Through Mellotron, fretless bass, sympathetic acoustic drone instrumentation, organic ritual implements, restrained rhythm, and gentle composition, the project evokes an unseen fire, one that burns as a silent votive flame, offering illumination without spectacle.
Eremition feels forever held within Asiatic traditions of tranquil ritual music and worldly fusion, rooted deeply in stillness, breath, and ceremony, while quietly honoring the Kosmische visionaries of the late 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. Its lineage can be felt in the devotional atmospheres of Popol Vuh and the solitary compositions of Florian Fricke, drifting alongside the currents of Wu Ziying, Jacques Roman (Pulsar), Yatha Sidhra, Bo Hansson, Tony Scott, Klaus Schulze, Between, Dead Can Dance, and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
More to come regarding the debut full length LP Echoes of Eremition Vol. I.
Thank you all for your time and interest.
WARmth,
