about

This album is a collection of songs that came together as I attempted to try new things and push myself beyond my comfort zone. What began as trying out some new VSTs and my new Kontroll M32 became a full-fledged, full-length release. Despite the experimentation and branching into new styles, I hope that the dungeon synth origins are still found buried in layers of ritualistic, pagan-inspired nature worship. Each track features unique album artwork from old paintings or photographs I took myself. I have also used field recordings from the National Park Service that are far superior in quality and fidelity than any I have recorded myself.

I hope you will enjoy this ode to the natural world - a world that may not long exist if things continue the way they are going. If you buy this album and share a love for nature, please consider also donating your time and money to causes and organizations that can help undo the massive damage we have already done. Beyond telling people to recycle and building sustainable mass transit and finding energy from renewable sources, we need to dismantle the capitalist mode of production which will always place the value of profit over the environment. We cannot entrepreneur ourselves out of this crisis. Better things are possible and worth fighting for. Thanks for reading and thanks for listening.
