Paul, Tony, and Dan made noise at three or four different stations. It was a few months ago, so I can't remember the setup exactly. Excerpt 15 is longer than the other 14 combined, so... Enjoy.

An immersive journey through sound and stillness, The Forgiver of Bonds unfolds as a long-form ambient piece inspired by the ancient symbolism of the goddess Aditi — the boundless, the mother of space and freedom, the one who liberates.

Through expansive drone textures and subtle harmonic shifts, Anantakara invites the listener into a meditative landscape where time dissolves and inner boundaries are softened. This is not merely music — it is a sonic ritual of release, a slow unraveling of ties that no longer serve, guided by the serene yet powerful presence of Aditi.

Let the vibrations carry you beyond the known, into the spacious heart of the unconditioned.

A one-track, 72+ minute epic tale of a priest compelled to climb a mountain alone, and how his faith is put to the test in his reckless expedition upward. Told in a dizzying combination of long-form ambient prog, dramatic musical theatre, organ-heavy synth/chamber pop, and, most importantly, energetic acid techno.

If this is not the first acid techno musical, it is likely the first to be about a member of the clergy.

If it helps, you may think of the piece in a series of parts, or chapters. I will provide most their titles, but no timestamps. There is no shortcut to the summit of a mountain.

Part I: Approach
Part II: Tremors
Part III: Ascent
Part IV: Majesty
Part V: High Ascent
Part VI: Secret
Part VII: Revelation
Part VIII: Summit
Part IX: ????

This album is loosely inspired by the true story of Don Giovanni Gnifetti, an Italian priest who, in 1842, was the first to summit the Signalkuppe, a peak in the Monte Rosa massif of the Pennine Alps. In Italian, it bears his name as Punta Gnifetti. However, unlike the priest in this album, Don Gnifetti was an experienced mountaineer and did not make the climb alone.

I would have not heard about Gnifetti and the Signalkuppe if it were not for this video by the Youtube channel Yes Theory:

Parts of Under Spell Peak are directly inspired by their ascent, including the initial low visibility ("the mist").

Under Spell Peak was originally aired in an incomplete, shorter form for the first RAVESPELLBOOK URL event back in October 2024.

Under Spell Peak

In this episode, Canadian Press journalist Darryl Greer takes us inside one of the most sensitive investigations in recent Canadian memory: A Predator at CSIS. What began as a chance encounter at a social gathering turned into months of reporting on harassment, secrecy, and alleged assault inside Canada’s spy agency. Greer reveals how he gained the trust of intelligence officers bound by secrecy laws, navigated legal and ethical tightropes, and balanced the power dynamics of covering survivors of harassment and assault—an investigation that ultimately sparked parliamentary debate, internal reforms, and a reckoning inside CSIS.

Episode 3 — Abuse, Secrecy, and the Allegations that Broke the Silence Inside Canada’s Spy Agency

Dan Dreifort's current bands: Synth Band Dot Com and Indelible Beancurd run the gamut from golden crap to things slightly crappier than crap. He uploads noises here for his bandmates to hear. Or not. You? You can hear too. Thanks for listening. Check the links for older, even crappier music from Dan.

How They Did It takes students and reporters behind the curtain to learn the tradecraft behind some of Canada’s most impactful investigative journalism. This podcast series shows—rather than tells—how top journalists find their stories, gather facts, build trust, and break award-winning reports. Led by Dr. Chris Arsenault of Western University and CBC’s Josette Lafleur, the project offers hands-on guidance and shares best practices—providing insight into the often-complicated process of investigative reporting.

Anantakara, a Sanskrit word meaning "rendering boundless", is a Belgium based electro-acoustic project creating and publishing music since 2011. Philippe Wauman, the man behind the project, likes to describe himself as a sound calligrapher: making delicate blends of ambient, electronica, downtempo, ethnic, neo classical and jazz. To make the vastness dance with the innermost is at the heart of his inspiration.
