about

This collection of four experimental electronic ambient drone audio works reflects life changing experiences I had during an eight day trip to Thailand in late September 2017. There I met four remarkable and sublime high occult practitioners in the Thai Buddhist Lanna discipline (‘ajarns’). During a 24 hour period in the environs of Chiang Mai I went through deeply profound magickal rituals in which both fire and gold were blown onto and slammed into my body, visited ancient meditation caves, experienced inexplicable psychic phenomenon and endured the placement of an invisible sacred magickal tattoo (Sak Yant) on my upper back dedicated to Mae Surasatee (a profound and holy earth goddess). This album is dedicated with respect and love to Ajarn Daeng, Ajarn Suea, Ajarn Nanting, Ajarn Apichai and Peter Jenx of The Thai Occult. This album was originally released onto streaming platforms 19th January 2018.
