Jon Hopkins unveils second preview from new album, RITUAL
Jon Hopkins has shared “RITUAL (palace)” as the second preview of the forthcoming album, RITUAL.
“In 2022, I was commissioned to compose for a project called Dreamachine* - a beautiful immersive experience created by a team of artists, scientists, and philosophers, which was experienced by tens of thousands of people throughout 2022 and beyond as it continues to tour. RITUAL (palace) is an evolution of the music I composed for that project. I am so grateful to all those involved," Hopkins explains.
Jennifer Crook, Artistic Director of Dreamachine added: “Dreamachine is a multidisciplinary collaboration that engages audiences in a powerful new kind of collective experience. Jon’s original composition for Dreamachine provides the essential heartbeat to this cerebral journey, designed to build inner connection. RITUAL’s evolution of his composition builds beautifully on this unique collaboration, bringing this extraordinary music to an even wider audience.”
RITUAL is set for release on 30 August via Domino, and is available to pre-order now.
