Pitchblack Playback: Jon Hopkins RITUAL (DK prem.).

Film
Hear this immense record played loud in uncompressed audio on our powerful Screen Three sound system. 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.
