about

ANAMNESIS | FOUR

A further exposition from the Palace of Mirrors: This is the fourth release in a series of four tape editions. Each one named after and based off one of the four pieces that make up the album "Palace of Mirrors". Each presenting a specific modality and conceptual form related to the piece of music it is named after. Each track on Palace of Mirrors represents the distillation of several versions of the compositions through various methods and forms and these recordings represent that process.

The albums tracks each have a corresponding sigil, created by artist Stephen Wilson, which are herein used to mark each set of material, each tape, linking it to its specific parent track. Essentially marking doors that lead to different chambers where you will find the world that the pieces inhabit.

"A Mask Hidden In Memory" attempts to reveal the secrets of the palace, pushing aside the veils of the doorways in the corridors to find yet another face, after face, after face, layer upon layer of forms receding infinitely. This is the end of the way, or rather another beginning. You may not remember things to be exactly as they were.

The download will also include an alternative master version of the "Palace of Mirrors" album track, "A Mask Hidden In Memory {ascesis version}" and a remix/reinterpretation of the same, created by AIDAN BAKER of NADJA, CAUDAL, B/B/S/, ARC, WHISPER ROOM et al, bookending the other tracks.
