Recorded using Tibetan singing bowls, bells, and ceremonial percussion, Andrew Sherwell's 2022 release treats ritual instrumentation as its own complete language. The resonances are allowed to decay fully, each strike opening into long, overlapping rings that accumulate into dense harmonic clouds before dissolving back into silence. There's a devotional quality here — less composition than ceremony, less performance than offering. The tones feel ancient and physical, grounding the listener in the body even as the overtones spiral outward.
