Dwyer, John: Ritual / Habit / Ceremony (CD)
From the artist -
An experiment in symphonic improvisation paired with synthesizer-scapes. Strings, reeds, synths & hand percussion all blend sweetly into an odd landscape indeed. The final touch was to bring aboard some singers I have loved over the years. I'm so pleased they were all willing to participate and I'm very tickled by the plane we navigate. Once YoshimiO agreed to be on board I knew we were going to be OK.
Recorded & mixed at my home studio (Stu-Stu-Studio in Los Angeles) and remotely, this one was a slow burn to see the light of day. And here it is in its final crystal form. Celebrating the spaces between ritual, habit & ceremony. And all the parallels between. The line is blurred. This is occult adjacent strain of sound. At home in daily ritual, contemplation & meditation.
