The Green Kingdom - Ether Hymns (2023)

Ether, in the literary sense, can be defined as 'the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.', or more informally as 'air regarded as a medium for radio'. Music, as well as the inspiration for it, are ephemeral in nature. In making this album, I often thought about the manner in which the sounds and patterns that form a piece of music are brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener's space, evolve over time, and drift off like clouds on the wind.

"I like it all. Very much. Especially the ecstasy inducing, sublimely engulfing Etheric Tide alongside the glassy guitars strummed on Swayd, reverberating into a delayed distance".
