Having realised the results of his inspiration, Ryan Gregory Tallman enthusiastically confessed that Hēmisphairions may be the best thing he has ever
recorded. Using heavily processed Tibetan singing bowls as the sound source and SuperCollider for processing yields in warm and fuzzy feedback drones. Two
pieces, quite distinct in their concept, attempt to sonically articulate and explicate his most vivid memories of his most heightened meditation
experiences. While the first part starts with sparse patches of sound that slowly evolve to floating overtones, the second part continuously builds
up to an eery cluster of dissonant and conflicting intervals.

The release is available as both single mp3 download and entire package including artwork. Some browsers may automatically play the file rather than offering a dialogue what to do with the latter, so in this case downloads may not be that straight forward. In case your favourite browser happens to exhibit exactly that behaviour, simply right click the link, and then a context menu should appear that offers something like "Save as" or "Save location as".
