The Awakening – EP
Release Date: December 19, 2025
© 2025 Keith Richie

"When The Weave begins to breathe and The Veil is drawn aside,
the forsaken roads of yesterday begin to glow.
Step by step, the hidden pattern reveals its design,
and every choice becomes a thread in destiny’s tapestry."
— Morn-Ankh-Amun

A vision. A whisper. A road rising to meet your steps.

The Awakening – EP continues the unfolding story first hinted at in “Whispers of the Witch (The Haunting)” and carried into “Remote Isolation (The Silence).” What began as distant murmurs has grown stronger — no longer just background echoes, but a clear, inescapable calling.

It opens with “Prologue (The Vision)”, where softly spoken words in an ancient tongue drift through the dark before anything in our own language takes shape. The sense is clear, even if the meaning is not: something has seen you, and something is waiting.

From there, “Remote Isolation (The Silence)” returns — now framed as the still heart of the experience. It moves like a breath held too long: distant and restrained, yet vast enough to swallow entire worlds of thought. Shadows stretch and fold as light slowly forms at the edges, each tone tracing the fragile line between numbness and awakening.

In “Rebirth (The Awakening)”, the music begins to rise. Melodies emerge from beneath the surface, hesitant at first, then increasingly sure of themselves. It feels like the moment when you stop simply enduring the dark and start reaching for something beyond it.

“Threads of Fate (The Binding)” draws the fragments together. Familiar motifs reappear and intertwine, rhythms tighten, and subtle echoes reveal a hidden pattern beneath everything that has come before. Each sound feels like another thread pulled taut, binding you to a path that is quietly taking shape.

With “Dawn (The First Light)”, the horizon breaks. Warmth seeps into the soundscape — not pure relief, but a fragile, hard-earned hope. The world is no longer silent, no longer sealed. There is motion now. Direction. The feeling that the steps you take actually matter.

And in “Whispers of the Witch (The Haunting)”, the presence that once lingered at the edges moves closer. The whispers that once brushed past your awareness now press in with intent, calling you by a name you don’t remember choosing. The message is not spoken plainly, but the pull is undeniable: you have been noticed, and you have been summoned.

Throughout it all, a single phrase surfaces and returns like a refrain:

“Norath Tharûn Ilthar.”

It is never explained. It does not need to be. You feel it more than you understand it — a quiet insistence that this is not the end of the journey, but the moment it truly begins.

This is the sound of awakening — when isolation sharpens into awareness, the whispers become a voice, and the path ahead begins to shine.

Step onto the path.
Step into The Weave…

Dawn (The First Light)

A mellow and gentle melodic overture shaped by warmth, nostalgia, and quiet beauty. Soft harmonies drift slowly and gracefully, creating an atmosphere that feels peaceful, reflective, and emotionally soothing.

For the first half of the twentieth century, Ellis Island stood as the gateway to America. For some twelve million people, it was their first encounter with the land they hoped to call home. 

Directed by acclaimed artist JR, ELLIS tells the story of one such migrant. Starring Robert De Niro, the film winds its way through the crumbling hallways of the abandoned Ellis Island hospital complex, now home to JR’s Unframed art installation. It’s a place that reverberates with the hopes and fears of those who passed through it, the echoes especially resonant today.

Entwined with the narrative is a score composed by Woodkid, performed and co-written by Nils Frahm. The delicate piano motifs of Winter Morning I culminate in a crescendo of strings, while the harmonium swells on the B-side are the foundation for De Niro’s narration: an encomium for those who shaped modern America. 

There’s perhaps never been a more fitting time for this story, with all the proceeds going to the Sea Watch initiative, a non-profit charity dedicated to the protection and rescue of civilian refugees. 

Following a screening as part of Nils’s Barbican Weekender, the ELLIS score will be out July 8th, the same week as America’s great federal holiday. It will be available via Erased Tapes as a mini album on CD, vinyl and in digital format containing a 12-page picture booklet.


IN THE ARTISTS’ OWN WORDS:

Nils Frahm: ‘The opportunity to work on JR´s fantastic short film ELLIS came through my good friend Yoann aka Woodkid. We agreed on recording the piano parts in my studio in Berlin and so it happened that JR and Woodkid were guests at Durton studio on a wonderful late summer day in 2015. We managed to record all the crucial elements that day. The music fell in our laps and melted with the images: a wonderful experience. The film has stuck in my head ever since; it moved my heart and changed my soul.

A couple of weeks later I had to cancel a trip to Brussels because of a terror warning; all events got cancelled and I stayed home, having an unexpected day off. I felt rather depressed that day, thinking that the Europe I knew was already gone. I sat down at the harmonium, listened to Robert De Niro’s voice and played for the rest of the day. The result is ‘Winter Morning II,’ the B-side of the ELLIS soundtrack release.

Robert says it all in 17 minutes. We are not facing a refugee crisis. We are facing a crisis because we do not embrace, we do not sympathise and we cannot give up fear. Art can encourage so I hope this project will help fight the fear in all of us.’

Yoann Lemoine, aka Woodkid:  ‘Ellis is my second collaboration with JR after the New York City Ballet piece for Les Bosquets. I initially wanted this piece to sound like it was recorded on an old piano that we found in the ruins of Ellis Island, in the restricted area that is not open to the public, where JR pasted the pictures on the walls for the film Ellis.

I had worked with Nils before and I wanted him to create a sound for this piano part that I composed that was extremely gentle and organic. I wanted the listener to hear the mechanisms, the breathing of the instrument. I wanted it to be imperfect, to sound like a ruin, a trace, an echo, the way the pastings on the walls seem to be ghosts, almost imperceptible.

After a few rehearsals, Nils stripped down my piano parts and we removed almost all orchestration around the piano. He then worked on the extended version that is his interpretation of my piece, with Robert de Niro’s vocals.

Because this film and this recording is historically meaningful, it was important for us to create this piece as an echo to the immigration situation in Europe, and decided to release it in support of Sea Watch.’
