about

ANAMNESIS | ONE

A further exposition from the Palace of Mirrors: First in a series of four tape editions. Each one named after and based off one of the four pieces that make up the album 'Palace of Mirrors'. Each presenting a specific modality and conceptual form related to the piece of music it is named after. Each track on Palace of Mirrors represents the distillation of several versions of the compositions through various methods and forms and these recordings represent that process.

The albums tracks each have a corresponding sigil, created by artist Stephen Wilson, which are herein used to mark each set of material, each tape, linking it to its specific parent track. Essentially marking doors that lead to different chambers where you will find the world that the pieces inhabit.

"Throne of Light" draws from the symbolism of Jungian psychology and archetypes which further delve into various rebirth and transformation mythologies. Unfold the titles and you will find illumination.

The download will also include an alternative master version of the "Palace of Mirrors" album track, "Throne of Light (lower sea version)" and a remix/reinterpretation of the same, created by Tim Condon of Fresh Snow, bookending the other tracks.

about

Gates

GATES is a undefinable musical entity emerging from the heart of modern experimental composition. Wielding abstractions harvested from the idioms of doom, drone and black metal and from the outer worlds of prog, jazz and neo-classical music, embedding them within an amalgamation of avant-garde approaches to texture, noise and ambience.
