Docetism - Here Beginneth The Life Of Brother Juniper

Review by Umesh Kumar

The album Here Beginneth The Life Of Brother Juniper by Docetism is a sublime and ethereal journey through ambient soundscapes and haunting melodies. The record is a masterful blend of electronic and acoustic instruments, creating a soundscape that is both organic and otherworldly.

The album is a tribute to the life and teachings of Brother Juniper, a 13th-century Franciscan monk who dedicated his life to serving the poor and the sick. The music reflects the spiritual and philosophical themes of Brother Juniper's teachings, with tracks like "The Poverty of Spirit" and "The Love of God" creating an atmosphere of contemplation and introspection.

Docetism's use of field recordings and found sounds adds a layer of texture and depth to the album, creating a sense of place and atmosphere that is both immersive and evocative. The music is minimalistic and restrained, allowing the listener to fully absorb the nuances and subtleties of each track.

Summary by Umesh Kumar

Here Beginneth The Life Of Brother Juniper is a stunning achievement in ambient music, and a testament to the power of sound to evoke emotion and transcendence. It is a must-listen for fans of ambient, experimental, and spiritual music.
