about

Ritual. It all started with one word during a conversation with a great friend of mine, who was going through major changes in his life. She mentioned it and it stayed with me.
We all have rituals in our lives. Some are mundane (like having a coffee in the morning), some are more meaningful and significant . One finds rituals throughout history and across all cultures and in all continents. Ancient tribes performed a ritual on such occasions as when a boy was ready to become a man, a ceremony with a divine significance. As this word made me question myself, fueling my inspiration with a rush of adrenaline, I immediately knew that I was going to create music taking the shape and form of my own vision of a ritual.
I am a guitar player, and for the first time I knew I needed more than just my guitar. I had “images” in mind, the scope of which was too vast to materialize only with guitar sounds. I needed to challenge myself and I decided to sample sounds and mix them with my guitar. This piece quickly became my obsession and It allowed me to explore music making farther than I had ever before. I dug deeper in me, it became a kind of therapy. I felt free to use any sound that inspired me, I was not stuck in the same artistic patterns anymore... I sensed that all those music sounds were meant to be connected, and that it was my purpose to bring them together into one long mix. The music sounds are a mirror to my own spiritual quest, through my life experiences and sensations: joy, anger, ,loneliness, love, hate, envy, fears...
The purpose of The Ritual is to accompany you on a journey exploring the depth of your mind, allowing your imagination go to unknown places, and not fear of any judgment.
Open your mind and be free. Benjamin Corson
