The Solstice marks a journey by signifying a pivotal turning point in the Sun's path, acting as a celestial anchor for time, nature, and human ritual, symbolizing endings, new beginnings, and the cyclical nature of life, from the darkest moment (winter solstice) to the peak of light (summer solstice) and back again.
I have always been fascinated Stonehenge, since I first visited there as a boy, what The Stones stand for and the secrets they hold - secrets about their origin, about how they were transported, built and the lives and beliefs of our pagan ancestors. I am constantly reminded that although we journey, and rush about our daily lives, the stones stand still, no need for motion, and long after we're all be gone, they will remain.
Solstice is an immersive, instrumental built on my love of lush vintage synths, atmospheric side chained pads, and floaty melodies. Both atmospheric, and cinematic with a gentle groove..
