Ritual is Solo Andata's third full-length album and the inaugural release for Desire Path Recordings. The limited-edition LP consists of four glorious sonic topographies that are spellbinding, eerie, visceral and energetic. Like Solo Andata's self-titled album on 12k, Ritual is fundamentally comprised of organic sounds--primitive gongs, bells and bowls, wildlife and environmental recordings, sacred chants, the vibration of human cancerous cells, cleavers, and prepared piano. These four pieces work toward a repetition or "ritual" between disparate elements so as to transport one to dense, otherworldly habitats. Ritual is bound to leave listeners mesmerized by its vividness and bewitched by its intensity.
