Eremition deliberately eschews narrative frameworks in favor of an ontological restoration of being articulated through somatic soundscapes and solivagant spiralic trajectories. It constitutes an ongoing personal investigation into worldly isolophilia, examining & 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 the presence of an unseen fire, one that burns as a silent votive flame, offering illumination without spectacle.
Eremition feels forever held within the 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 works of Florian Fricke, drifting alongside the currents of Wu Ziying, Jacques Roman (Pulsar), Yatha Sidhra, Bo Hansson, Tony Scott, Bruce Langhorne, Klaus Schulze, Between, Dead Can Dance and Henryk Mikolaj Górecki.

A limited edition of 50 cassettes handmade, numbered and packaged within full color obscure gold leaf stock sleeves. The cassette shell is an antique gold and hand lettered.
This cassette edition features a single twenty-minute bonus track, 'Echoes VII,' drawn from the forthcoming full-length LP, 'Echoes of Eremition: Vol. 1'. The cassette will be available exclusively through the Glass Throat Recordings storefront and within the Bandcamp online artifact shop.
PLEASE NOTE - 'Echoes VII' will release again within a subtly reimagined state and be included as a digital bonus track to the full length album 'Echoes of Eremition: Vol. 1'. There is also the possibility of its inclusion within a double LP edition, should the project find the appropriate support to bring such an expansion into being. Until then, this analogue cassette and coinciding digital recording stands as something singular, an edition confined to just fifty cassette tapes, and thus a quietly rare artifact.
Eremition is:

'Echoes VII' - a bonus track taken from the forthcoming debut 'Echoes of Eremition: Vol. I' full length album was performed, recorded, mixed and produced digitally and on tape throughout 2025 & into 2026 at Glass Throat Recordings by Chet W. Scott using an actual sound console and vintage gear. No AI-software simulation or trickery.
This cassette / digital EP version has not been mastered for either format.
Cover photography by Chet W. Scott.
Light falls gently upon one of Richard Kirsten-Daiensai’s spiraled works, resting against the wall like a quiet breath. Taken during a medicinal visit with my natural path, the image became a place of reflection & one that spoke without words each time I returned to it. The spiralic movement whispers still, circling inward, calling me softly into this very moment.
Glass Throat Recordings is located upon the unceded ancestral lands of the first people of the Dkhw Duw’Absh (Duwamish Tribe), past and present!
I raise up with honor and gratitude the Coast Salish land itself and the Dkhw Duw’Absh.
Warmth,
-Chet W. Scott
