Description
Devotional, empowering and nurturing, Jon Hopkins’ forthcoming RITUAL is a 41-minute electronic symphony built from cavernous subs, hypnotic drumming and transcendent melodic interplay. Tense, immersive and ultimately triumphant, it is a culmination of themes explored throughout his 22-year career, and acts as the kinetic counterpart to 2021’s Music For Psychedelic Therapy.
A single piece unfolding over eight chapters, RITUAL is personified by depth and contrast. Taking ceremony, spiritual liberation and the hero's journey as inspiration, it taps into an ancient and primal energy
About Jon Hopkins
A studio auteur with a unique grasp of dynamics, Jon Hopkins composes music for the night time mind, body and soul. The Hopkins LPs Immunity, Singularity and Music For Psychedelic Therapy are symphonic explorations of the psyche; musical manifestations of inner space and the physical self. All of these elements combine in his celebrated live performances where Hopkins' understanding of the power of transcendence and the opening of the third eye elevates the dancefloor.
