Traditionally, knucklebones were used for divination by shamans around the world. They were also used for games of luck like Astragaloi in the Mediterranean or communal pass times like Shagai Kharakh in Mongolia. The sound they make when they are thrown is crisp and unpredictable due to their irregular form and density, so knucklebones were used to make percussive elements of music too. Scholars once used them for arithmetic and counting, bridging the practical and the creative. 

For me, Knucklebones is a tribute to my musical journey and the many people who’ve filled my mind with beats, breaks, and melodies along the way. It’s a way of looking back to find inspiration for what’s to come. It is a foray into the process of writing music that is unbound by my own creative restraints and provides release to the sounds locked away in my head. Many knuckles were satisfyingly cracked while writing this one, so I hope it provides some release to you too as you listen and dance. 

Many thanks to Patronus records for providing a platform for my music.

Parhelion - Knucklebones

In the cosmic tapestry where sound and light intertwine, emerges Luminara Labs – a sonic crucible where the incandescent essence of consciousness takes form. We are weavers of auditory journeys, alchemists of rhythm and vibration, dedicated to illuminating the pathways of inner space through the transformative power of psychedelic trance.

We believe in the power of music to transcend boundaries, to dissolve the veils of perception, and to foster a profound connection with the infinite. Join us as we navigate the luminous currents of sound, venturing deeper into the psychedelic frontier, one resonant frequency at a time. Luminara Labs: where the echoes of enlightenment reverberate.
