Jon Hopkins Releases New Song “RITUAL (palace)”
British music producer Jon Hopkins released the second single called “RITUAL (palace)” from his upcoming seventh studio album “RITUAL” on July 9, 2024.
The new album is set to be released on August 30, 2024 via Domino.
The track was written and produced by Jon Hopkins, featuring Austin-based singer Vylana, who also performed as vocals on his previous song “RITUAL (evocation)”.
Jon Hopkins said of the song, “In 2022, I was commissioned to compose for a project called Dreamachine - a beautiful immersive experience created by a team of artists, scientists, and philosophers, which was experienced by tens of thousands of people throughout 2022 and beyond as it continues to tour. RITUAL (palace) is an evolution of the music I created for that project. I am so grateful to all those involved. As with the previous single, RITUAL (palace) features vocals from my friend Vylana. Artwork by Mike V.”- Jennifer Crook, the Artistic Director of Dreamachine said, “Dreamachine is a multidisciplinary collaboration that engages audiences in a powerful new kind of collective experience. Jon's original composition for Dreamachine provides the essential heartbeat to this cerebral journey, designed to build inner connection. RITUAL's evolution of his composition builds beautifully on this unique collaboration, bringing this extraordinary music to an even wider audience.”
