about

Time and the technologies developed within my own lifespan have changed the way I feel about the night sky, how the act of star gazeing now includes the unsettling feeling of being watched.

This track includes a collaboration with Aria Janzen of Wanderingaria who wrote and performed all of the computational rhythm sequencing & synthesising. Please check out her wonderful collection of music on Bandcamp.

lyrics

Not even the sky, is for getting lost anymore
A line of satellites 40 points long
Moving in(formation), mapping out the surface
To save us all from unreliable internet
Even if we didn't ask for it

But we used to get lost in it
Lying on the roof of the barn
Our own newness juxtaposed with the abyss of time
Smoking cigarettes and kissing each-other
Waiting for our life to begin,
We stared at the stars and we whispered our secrets
Our own galaxies unspooled from within

Meanwhile, further out, Betelgeuse will be burning out
A perpetual star, visible night and day
Before we forever loose our notch in Orion's Belt
Meanwhile further out, Neowise has been seen about
If you're lucky to have a clear sky
You might see the tail of a comet by and by

Now you hear all we confide
While you watch where will we hide

From the Artificial Stars

about

Hermitess Calgary, Alberta

Hermitess is the project of an aging and slightly reclusive witch, dreaming simultaneously in music and images. Sonically, layered orchestral textures, harmonic voices, and pedal driven magic, all conjuring a fleeting fever dream.
