🎶💝🎶 New Single & Music Video — "Bardo" from The Age of Reunion
So begins 11 weeks of new music exploring cyberdelia and the Great Beyond!
Once upon a time, long ago in 2023, I finished 44 minutes of new music that took me something like 22 years and thousands of hours of writing and studio time to create.
This album, The Age of Reunion, is the consummation of everything I have ever learned about music (I play over 20 instruments on it, sing six-part harmonies, etc.) and is the most elegant encoding I could manage of my various esoteric initiations into psychonautic and scientific occult disciplines.
In other words, it’s not something I wanted people to listen to once on their phone speakers. This is a “light incense, wear studio monitor headphones” kind of thing.
Worried I’d be pissing in the wind, I only made it available to my Substack and Patreon supporters and close friends — but kept a proper public release under wraps while waiting for a sign from the cosmos about how to introduce this to the wide world the right way.
But now, after consulting the oracle, I have decided that there is no better time. Starting today — and Happy Valentine’s Day! — here is the first of eleven weekly drops, the instrumental overture “Bardo”:
You’re going to get a new one every week until the whole thing’s public on 4/24.
If you dig this, please pre-order the album now on Bandcamp to score a secret folder with all eleven tracks in WAV, all of the HD videos, and a very extensive and luscious liner notes PDF.
And if you can’t afford that because AI took your job, just follow along on YouTube and pre-save the next five tracks on Spotify (“Indecision”, “Transparent”, “Signal”, “Always Catching Up”, and “You Don’t Have To Move”).
MUCH, MUCH more to announce soon. I’m making big moves this year and cannot wait to share them with you! Hope you’re well. Reach out any time…
Lovingly Yours,
Michael
