Andy Aquarius - Forest Grimoire - Tape

Forest Grimoire consists of VIII improvised fragments that were received the moment they were recorded - all right there in the woods. The birds, trees & winds play as much of a role as does the harp, and the resulting meditations are situated somewhere in between the realms of Animist Folklore, Dungeon Synth and Holy Minimalism.

A simple & pure reflection of internal witherings, inspired by medieval Minnesang's subgenre of 'Winterlieder', personal scēawungs & dūst-scēawungs and Kittelsen's Svartedauen.

Owê, war sint verswunden alliu mîniu jâr!
ist mir mîn leben getroumet, oder ist ez wâr?
daz ich ie wânde, daz iht wære, was daz iht?
dar nâch hân ich geslâfen und enweiz es niht.
(Walther von der Vogelweide)
