about

Take The Temple Steps To The Wooded glade. An aural journey of a monk in isolation mediates, creating a Tulpa which forms all of his desires and fears with the purpose pf imprisoning, learning from it and destroying it. Freed inadvertently from it's psychic shackles it gives chase as a personified entity through the labyrinthine woods of the Ghost Gardens and into the concentric rings of landscape. An ambient tale told through soundscapes of lush beauty and sonorous horror.
