Vesper is an EP based around the theme of ascension. The release represents a return to a more traditional form of ambient and drone music for the artist, while still retaining the cinematic and emotive touch present in much of the Atra Aeterna back catalogue. 

Here, dense nests of string arrangements swell with the ebb and flow of the music, accompanied by ethereal synthesizers that writhe, intertwine, and eventually coalesce amidst the warm glow of crackling static. 

Vesper has a total runtime of 20 minutes.

Atra Aeterna is the alternative alias of Zack Mitchell, a born and raised Kingstonian who has been programming and releasing haunting, cinematic pieces of electronically unsettled noise for over a decade. 

Influenced by film composers and electronic producers alike, Mitchell seamlessly melds subtle fields of static warmth, emotive piano harmonies, and dark atmospherics into lushly imagined tapestries of instrumental sound. Recent years have seen Mitchell's work gravitate towards a more aggressively synthetic nature, building upon ethereal soundscapes and introducing pounding rhythmic elements and bright, jagged synth-lines that throw off light like undulating live-wires. 

Mitchell has released all Atra Aeterna music independently, and has designed all artwork associated with each release himself.
