Welcome to another edition of Dungeon Synth Sunday on the channel. Last week things were pretty futuristic. This week let’s take it back a bit, away from the future, past the modern age, back past the industrial to more primitive yet spiritual times..
During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a true revolution of faith illuminated the arts and sciences leaving them at the service of the spirit. It was then that the century of the cathedrals was born. That spirit led the man of old Europe to a fever of building more than two hundred cathedrals, in those places where the old and dilapidated churches were located, which in turn occupied the ancestral places of worship of the old settlers of the continent.
It was the builders of the cathedrals who, incarnating the principles of sacred architecture on the stone, made the cathedrals a privileged space of union between man and God, between man and the cosmos.
And here, with this album, those cathedrals of worship, of contemplation, of communion and quiet solace are wrought in dark ambient form. Granite tones, marble edifices, and spiritual channelling.
