Pitchblack Premiere: Jon Hopkins 'RITUAL'
*Please arrive by event start time as latecomers will not be admitted and refunds will not be offered*
Immerse yourself in the incredible sounds of Jon Hopkins' new record 'RITUAL' ahead of its release on August 30 (via Domino Records) at our exclusive listening session in the dark (New Zealand premiere)
Hear this new record in uncompressed high resolution 24-bit audio through every speaker of our powerful cinema sound system for you to hear and feel every nuance. No distractions; just you and the music.
The kinetic counterpart to Jon’s most recent release, the celebrated innerspace odyssey 'Music For Psychedelic Therapy', the new work is a single track, 41-minute ceremonial epic, built from cavernous subs, hypnotic drumming and transcendent melodic interplay. Tense, immersive and ultimately triumphant, it is a culmination of themes explored throughout his 22-year career.
“I have no idea what I’m doing when I’m composing. I don’t know where it’s coming from, or where it’s going. I just know when it’s finished,” says Jon. “What is clear is that this one had the structure of a Ritual. I know what that Ritual is for me, but it will be something different for you. All I know is it felt like a tool, even a machine, for opening portals within your inner world, for unlocking things that are hidden and buried. It doesn’t feel like an album, therefore, more a process to go through, something that works on you.”
Lovingly constructed from many hundreds of constituent parts from a cast of trusted collaborators, Jon describes his role as akin to “building a temple”, with every brick and detail carefully fashioned and coloured in service to the whole.
